A browning lawn could be from many reasons: Not enough water, a fungus problem (brown patch), fertilizer burn, insects in the soil (grubs). You need to look at the grass, and see if there are 'splotches' of yellow or brown on the blade, which would be indicative of fungi. Pull up on a clump of grass, if it comes out easily then the roots may be damaged by grubs. If you've fertilized recently, you may have over-fertilized. And you may want to reconsider your watering schedule.

The best way to maintain a green lawn is mow it high (cut only the top third off) mulch it, and deep water it weekly (about an inch of water will keep it green). To gauge your watering, place empty tuna or cat food cans around your yard and water until there is an inch of water in the cans. Also, keep your lawnmower blades sharp and mow during the cooler parts of the day to lesson the stress on your yard and yourself. Fertilize and treat weeds in the early spring and fall.
