you're watering too much... causing mold...
go to Closed Quarters in wellborn and get something called 'F/stop'... its what pros use to stop brown spot.... and lower your timer on your watering ...
or go to Farm Patch and ask for ANNE... she's the plant person,.. used to be the plant person at the COOP and at Closed Quarters.... she'd tell u to stop watering so much, and to use F-stop. but thats my advice..

Thanks Howdy, Classic, and SPI. Really appreciate the kind words.
Actually, went out to take a look and found an army of chinch bugs destroying the lawn. This is the trouble that many homeowners face... diagnosing the real issue causing the problem. We run into chinch bugs, grubworms, take-all root rot, St. Augustine decline, Brown patch, Grey leaf spot, soil pH issues, poor drainage, too much shade, pre-emergent damage, and more. Watering too much or too little are both common problems, but there are many, many deeper issues that exist.
If you don't know the issue or if you're guessing, it's difficult to figure out what to do to solve the problem. That's where we come in. We come out and treat according to what the lawn needs at each stage of the year, and diagnose issues before they pose a problem. We also advise our customers on how to water smart, which hopefully saves the homeowner on their water bill.
