Answer 2

I had this same baffling problem. For a long time I saw this spot and wondered what kind of bug or fungus had done this. Mine was due to my husband's leaky diesel truck. He pulled used the truck to pull the boat out of the backyard and some oil spilled on the grass. Has anyone parked a car there? It only takes few minutes to do damage that will last it seems forever. Nothing will grow there.

its probably where you might have set something down on the grass and left it and the grass died,or it could be where an animal pees all the time,ity could be almost anything.but you can buy grass patching seed kits at walmart! they are usually sold in a bag,its grass seed,with other green insulating substance to help cover the patches until they fill in! or you can go buy sheets of alreadt grown grass and dig up the bad area and lay that sod down!good luck!

Answer 5

Sound like grubs to me...Aka "Fairy Rings"
You need a product called "Bug-Be-Gone"
You can get it in a ready spray form, you just hook it up to your hose and spray.
I would do that a couple of times, and then dig up that patch, and make a slurry of , top soil, peatmoss,and grass seed. Mix it all together like a big mud pie and then slap it on the spot. Keep the area moist ( not soaking wet, cause that will make the seeds rot) and in about 7 to 10 days(depending on how warm it is) you should see sprouts.
Good luck

Could be disease such as necrotic ring spots, or an investation such as grubs.

Get a professional to do a soil sample and see if it is the lesser of two evils.

Answer 7

Do you have a dog? Or does your neighbors allow their dogs to pee in your yard? Sounds like it might be urine killing it. That's the shape our deads spots are when our dogs pee in the grass

Answer 8

Fungus disease - thin it out and let it dry totaly. then rough up area and plant new seed. Water a lot till grass takes hold. I had the problem.

Answer 9

It sounds like bugs or worm to me. Go to your local nursery and get a spray to kill bugs or worms in the yard.

Answer 10

The neighbors have been letting their dogs pee in your yard...plant seeds and get a fence.
