Out here on the coast, brown lawns in the summer are the norm. We only have two seasons...wet and dry. So the lawn/ meadows are green all during the winter and spring and brown in the summer and fall. Here is the up side...You cut the grass maybe twice...once if the season is very dry. No need to worry about it at all and if you have a goat no need to cut it ever. This is natures way for this place, so not a problem.
