My dad has always had the nicest lawn of anyone I know. Naturally, we always go over to his house and beautiful lawn to do our fireworks. For years he’d complain that the fireworks burned his lawn (not really true, but we indulged him) but then he hit on the idea of spending the day watering his lawn before we did fireworks on it. It worked out well.

My own neighborhood does so many fireworks, it looks like a war zone. While I’ve never actually had a burned lawn from it, I do end up spending some time picking up artillery shell and bottle rocket bits. This year, it rained off and on on the 4th and it rained quite a bit on the 5th, so most of the mess was washed…somewhere….when I went to clean up my yard this morning.

How’d your lawn fare over the 4th? Have you ever had burned bits on your lawn because of the fireworks?
