Keeping a thick green lawn turns out tougher than most people expect. Homeowners mow and water on a schedule yet they hit snags such as dead brown areas or grass that thins out. Weeds popping up everywhere just adds to the frustration. Figuring out the root causes of these everyday problems starts the path to sorting them out. So here is a closer look at what goes wrong.
1. Brown or Dead Patches
Brown or dead patches catch the eye right away as one major issue. Those areas lose their color and end up looking parched or completely lifeless.
Why does it happen?
- Lack of water or uneven watering
- Too much foot traffic in one area
- Pest damage, like grubs or insects eating roots
- Disease caused by fungi
