Hello, I have small round patches of discoloration mainly in my front yard. Ive been told by someone it’s a fungus that is a result of too much water. The spots are round and the tips of the grass in the circles are reddish and as you get closer to the dirt its light brown. I have this problem every year and I’m not sure how to solve it. Any helpful information would be appreciated. Thank you Sean
It sounds like a fungal disease called “red thread”. It thrives in a spring like this…damp and humid. Thankfully it doesn’t usually kill the grass. The solution is easy too…feed the lawn with a good lawn food to give it a good shot of nitrogen….like out own Country Estate Lawn Food. It has quick and slow release nitrogen. Feed soon though before it gets too hot. More on red thread HERE.
