My new lawn that made me so happy is making me now so sad.

3.5 weeks ago I had my entire front yard removed and all new kentucky blue sod installed. Watered the first day and then we received 7 days straight of rain. The lawn rooted in nicely and looked amazing after the first cut. I’ve cut it at 4″ once a week since…(3 cuts)

Now in the last 3 days several random patches in various shapes and also a 1’x12′ strip of lawn are turning yellow/brown.

Upon close inspection of an individual blade from an infected area it has spots of yellow randomly throughout but much of the blade is still green.

The 1’x12’strip is worse than the rest of the lawn appearing almost totally yellow now. It was also the first to appear

I did some reading here before posting and really didnt come to any conclusion. Do I have fungus from all the rain? I would like some direction and input here to help get it back to where it was visually just days ago…

I could take pictures if it would help any of you help me

I’m in southeast Michigan…thanks
