Why Is My Grass Going Brown

Grubs My Boy Grubs

Would I see grubs if I dug up a piece of the turf?? I didn't see anything that looks like a grub

I would have though fungus but i hammered it with fungicide through the season. Maybe it would have been worse if I didn't treat it.

I pretty sure it wasn't fertilizer burn. That usually comes back to life after a week or two. These spots did not come back. I even turned the soil and reseeded a few places and the new grass started comming up and then just died.

The season is just about over. Aerate and thatch Spring or Fall??? Most around here do it in the Spring.


Thanks for the help

I had spots turning brown like that this year too...I thought I wasn't watering enough or needed to fertilize...my local agway guy said there was alot of fungus this year with all the damp weather and more watering and fertilizer would make it worse. I tried the fungicide and in a week it started to clear up..it all looks better now...

Yea I was thinking that maybe I needed to wait until the fungus showed up before I hammered it. I was using it all season trying to prevent it. My neighbor didn't get it at all.
