I think it’s centipede. Did you or anyone else use liquid fert? That looks like tip burn.



No...last year about this time I applied Scotts Turf Builder, then around June\early July I used Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food Summerguard. The lawn started to green up and then that last cold snap hit and looked like it killed it. So I cut it and then tried Milorganite a day or so before we got a good shower.

Every centipede lawn I’ve seen around South LA looks like this right now. That late freeze after the really warm weather was absolutely brutal.

I’m honestly not sure what recommendations are best. Our weather has continued to be fairly mild so I’m not sure if it’ll bounce back once it really warms up. Some people have recommended trying to rake up/away some of the dead thatch. I don’t think it needs a treatment or chemicals, but not sure how well it will recover. Centipede is always super slow to recover from damage/stress.
