Bad areas in Centipede

Centipede sodded about 2 years ago. Over the last few months I’ve developed areas as seen. I’m attributing to lack of water. The grass in the areas are not loose or easy to pull. It’s all firmly rooted.
Agree this is just not enough water? I’ve been hitting the areas 2-3 times a week for a couple weeks now. But we’ve gotten very little rain and of course it’s been 100 every day. The bad areas are mostly on slopes. And most are close to a concrete retaining wall.
I’m have irrigation installed next week. Watering will be solved.
Any recommendations?

Many centipede lawns have this problem. This topic has been discussed on here before, but I don’t think anyone figured it out. Re-sod that area with Zoysia and maybe it’ll take over as the centipede dies off. Just my opinion.

For a quick fix rake that dead stuff out and throw some decent quality topsoil mixed with sand over the top of that rough looking spot. Take something like a 3’ wide push room and level the dirt out buried slightly below the living grass. You don’t totally want to cover the existing grass just push that fresh dirt in there to fill in the dead spots. Throw some centipede seed on it when you can keep it moist. My centipede yard looked like arse this year and so did a lot of others from Pensacola to Houston. What you took a picture of looked like my whole yard. I got so pissed I now have Tifway 419 and zoysia. Your problem isn’t that hard to fix.

I have centipede and it turns brown when it is dry. I can’t tell if those are bare spots or just discolored. If they are discolored, they will look good again as soon as you get some rain.

The first issue you have is it’s centipede. The second issue is it loves to die.
