Why is my grass turning brown in spots?

Answer 1

It could be that certain areas of your yard have less soil density (more rocky, less clay stratus) so it does not hold water as well as other areas and those certain spots may need extra water to maintain green grass.

Answer 2

if you had a bad infestation of japanese beetles this year, it could well be grubs eating the roots of the grass .... the beetles would have laid eggs in the soil which by now are hatching into white grubs and they're hungry..... dig up a spot where the grass is brown and check there for grubs or other root-munchers... especially if the brown grass comes right off if you grab a handful of it.... that means the roots are gone and you'll need to take action soon.... treat for grubs soon, or they'll be heading deeper in the soil as temperatures cool down and you'll not ''get them'' with the grub killer.....

if you dont' find bugs, watch for dogs using your yard for a 'rest stop'..... if not dogs, then take a sample of the dying grass in a baggie, sealed, to your County extension office for analysis.. they'll tell you what's wrong in your lawn... it's a free service unless you request a full investigation....

Answer 3

Watering helps!! You may also have a grub problem...go to the lawn and garden canter and ask for some grub killer and put it on your grass. Grubs will kill grass in no time flat
