My otherwise good looking lawn has brown grass, almost looks like straw ,
mixed in with it not in any particular pattern. A few weeks ago, the entire
lawn was a deep dark green. Now some is green and some is this brown grass
or the edges are brown. Any ideas/explanations. Could it be the unusual
amount of rain we have gotten along the north east. Any observations
appreciated. Thanks
John

What kind of grass?
How much rain?
Your lawn may have some sort of fungus.

Chinch or fungus.

>From the description and without seeing it, impossible to say. In hot
weather, it's normal upon close inspection to see some brown/dead
blades in cool season grass evenly distributed throughout the turf.
The tips of the blades could be brown from mowing, more so if the blade
is not sharp. The overall turf still looks good though.
On the other hand, if you have scattered patches where the grass is all
or mostly brown, then it's either disease, fungus, or insects. Take a
sq ft sample of turf at the boundary area to a local agricultural ext
service, if there is one in your area.
