Do you have a dog?

No we don’t

Then you may be in luck. A good lawn doctor can tell you how to fix that.

Everything seemly is going well and your cool-season lawn is green and beautiful. Then you have a hot, humid night and the next day the grass shows some yellow patches. The day after, the yellow turns to brown. What’s going on? While seemingly overnight yellowing can be a symptom of a number of different lawn diseases, this particular culprit is most likely a lawn fungus called brown patch.

Brown patch thrives when it is hot and humid, and can affect your lawn in late spring, summer, or early fall, depending on what type of cool-season grass you have, where you live, and recent weather conditions. Prolonged wetness from dew, rain, nighttime or evening watering, or poor drainage—or any other activity that keeps grass blades wet during weather in which temperatures are above 80 degrees F during the day and 65 degrees F at night—create ideal conditions for developing this serious fungal disease. In addition, grass that has been over-stimulated with nitrogen fertilizer just before or during hot, humid weather tends to be more susceptible to brown patch.

You can try using a granular fungicide for brown patch. Normally this will cure more then 1 fungus.

Try not to water at night or in the evenings. The best time to water is in the morning between like 6am and 10am

I try and provide lawn care for people on a budget. Good Luck!

i would get a dollar store butcher knife.. cut out the dead spots... and harvest some new plugs from the edges .... and just skip all the chems ...

i would do this in a few weeks when the temps break ... fall ... cool nights is grass growing time ... and for me.. its when the grass comes out of summer heat dormancy ....

im surprised sod is even sold in the heat of august ... but then.. i dont know where you are .. maybe its not as bad as the hot humid midwest... and sod is a year around install thing...
