Dead spots??

ok I figured out how to post photos now..I put some black kow in some of the spots to try and get the grass to grow back.. No chemical’s were put into the grass. Lawn service put a pre emergent down in early March. Lawn was fertilized two weeks ago. the spots were there before all this..Should I fill spots with sod?

Hi Bob. I would absolutely dig out a square section slightly larger than the patch and replace with a few pieces of fresh sod. I would dig 6″ down & replace the soil as well.

Thank you for your comment…I will most likely replace with new sod..I can’t figure out why this happened. Nobody seems to know..

Found out that the dead areas are the start of brown patch…I wish I would have known earlier. The lawn was treated with a liquid fungicide and will be treated again in two weeks. I hope my lawn will recover this season…

Looks exactly like my lawn, worse in the back yard! Brown patch is what I was thinking too. Did you get a pro to treat the yard??

Yes I have a pro doing the spraying. I don’t want to loose what I have…
