sick and dying grass

I have an area of very sick and dying grass. Each year it expands a bit. If I dig out a clump of sod I find a white powder like layer about 1-2 inches down. No roots get through this layer. What is this and how do I fix it?

Hard to say without more info……

grass typesoil type/area of countryis it a wet soil (if so its probably a mildew)

Grubworms, webworms…….all a possibility.
