Humate will eventually break it down, but it's not a quick process.

I'm sure it's been covered here somewhere in the thread, but I'm to lazy to read through all 14 pages.
I'm fortunate because my new house has a great lawn already, but I was warned by the previous owners that purple clover was starting to creep in and had destroyed a few spots in the front yard last summer. As I'm planning on xeriscaping the front yard this fall/next spring I'm not super concerned with repairing the dead spots, but I really, really want to keep this crap out of my immaculate back yard. Does anyone have any tips?

I love fresh mow lines in the grass. Is anybody else weird like me and you mow it a different direction every time you mow?

Yes, I was taught it makes the grass stand up better when it's alternated. I like to see how straight I can get them. It's my ODD. (I'm odd)
I successfully transplanted a tree. It was in the park strip where our new driveway approach will be. I’ve been very diligent about keeping it wet. It seemed to die off for about a week or so, and then started showing signs of life again. We are a little more than a month in and it seems to be thriving now.

I love how Davis county was on 1 water per week and just last week we got permission to do 2 waters per week for 15 minutes each.
My lawn will never recover. Enjoy it down-stream. LOL

My lawn is almost completely returned to dirt. I still mow it every few weeks to keep it looking trimmed. It's depressing.

I had heard that it was healthy for a lawn to be mowed in varying directions, but I could not recall the reason. I do try to mix it up a bit when I mow for this reason.
You guys actually follow the .gov water restrictions?
I cut back over what we have done in the past but.... I live in an area where we were required to put so much grass in and Ill be damned if I let it die on orders from the same people that required I install it.

I'm letting mine die so I can xeriscape next spring.

Ill happily take my chances, I know how a water meter works and easily turn it back on the city can eat a bag of (insert illicit word here) before they shut off my water.

I suspect they couldn't very well turn off your primary water.
I would think if the alleged drought is really this serious they should turn off secondary water anyways… right? Making people actually pay full price for their water is probably a good way to make them take it seriously. I’m not saying I agree with that but I also don’t have secondary water anyways so I don’t have a dog in that fight
