A lush, green lawn is the goal, so it can be frustrating to discover patches of brown grass all over yours! Unfortunately, this is likely one of two problems: brown patch lawn disease or dehydration. The best way to determine which is the result of these unsightly patches is to call in a professional. If they conclude that it's brown patch, a fungal disease common in Colorado, you'll need to schedule curative treatments immediately to eliminate it. On the other hand, if your lawn is dehydrated, it's crucial to ensure it's watered properly again.

Either brown patch lawn disease or dehydration can cause patches of brown grass on your lawn.

When your lawn has patches of brown grass all over, it not only drags down its curb appeal but also likely means compromised health. Unfortunately, this is likely a result of either brown patch lawn disease or dehydration, so you'll want to call in a professional to determine the issue and provide the correct remedy. Here is some information about these two possible causes of your patchy lawn:

  • Brown Patch is a lawn disease that, as the name implies, causes circular brown spots across your turf that can be anywhere from six inches to several feet in diameter. This fungal infection can develop when the soil has poor drainage and airflow.
  • Dehydration is caused when your lawn lacks water. Not only does it result in brown patches, but it can also lead to wilting grass blades curling in on themselves, cracked soil, and lasting imprints from walking on it even long after doing so.

If Your Lawn Is Infected With Brown Patch, Schedule Curative Treatments Immediately

Once you get a professional to look at your lawn and they conclude that it's infected with brown patch, the next step is to schedule curative treatments immediately. This lawn disease will continue to spread and harm your turf if left to its own devices, but these treatments will eliminate it so it doesn't sustain any more damage. That way, it can focus on recovering and returning to its lush, green self!

If Your Lawn Is Dehydrated, You'll Need to Ensure It's Watered Properly Again

If the cause of the patches of brown grass all over your turf isn't brown patch lawn disease but rather dehydration, you'll need to ensure it's watered properly again. To do this, you should install an irrigation system if you don't already have one. An irrigation system is crucial for keeping your lawn hydrated, and you can set its watering schedule to provide what it needs when it needs it. On the other hand, if you already have one and it still becomes dehydrated, it may need repairing to ensure it can function optimally and provide much-needed water to your grass again.

Some common irrigation system issues that can inhibit your lawn from receiving the water it needs include clogged filters and broken or improperly set sprinkler heads.
