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.
