Root rot for sure. Round up the weeds and resod. I’d consider raising the area if it’s low. Maybe aerate after new sod is laid and fully rooted.


Thanks ronk....I will kill it and re-sod with centipede. The yard drains well and has large elevation changes.

I am inundated with a mixture of VBW and Doveweed as well.
Fixing to hit it with Celsius.

I have lived in BR my whole life, and never had yard issues like the last several years.

Your soil changes over time. It gets more compacted, microbes become or less prevalent, excessive rain comes at times when your lawn is unable to handle stress. Thousands of different scenarios to consider.

If you are able and willing to do it I’d have your lawn core aerated and top dressed with sand. Mason sand only. That will help to filter excess water.
