Seeing brown patches in your lawn can be frustrating, but identifying the cause makes recovery much easier.

Common Causes

Pet Urine: High nitrogen in urine can “burn” grass, leaving small brown spots.

Fungal Disease: Hot, humid weather or poor air circulation can trigger fungal growth.

Underwatering / Drought Stress: Grass dries out quickly during heatwaves or irregular watering.

Over-Fertilizing: Too much nitrogen can damage roots, causing yellow or brown patches.

Pests: Grubs and other lawn pests eat roots, leaving dead areas.

How to Fix Brown Spots

Water Properly: Deep, consistent watering encourages healthy roots.

Reseed: Fill in thin or dead patches with grass seed.

Pet Solutions: Use pet-friendly lawn treatments or train pets to use a designated area.

Improve Drainage: Avoid overwatering and aerate compacted soil.

Fertilize Smartly: Apply fertilizer at the recommended rate and season.

✅ Result: With the right approach, your lawn can bounce back greener and healthier than ever.
