How many times should one put down the fungicide? I did it about a month ago and it doesn't look like it's improved.

I guess around springtime of this year (I could be off on the timing), I started noticing the yellow patches and weeds popping up alot.

Here's a few overhead shots of the yard:

lawn and weeds

I took the 2 overhead pictures from the north side of my house, so the entire yard is exposes to alot of sun the majority of the day (not sure if that has anything to do with it or not). But in the areas that receive shade (where fence is blocking, trees are shading, etc.) there are no yellow patches.

Thx.

I do it once a month, you can probably do it less for maintenance but in your case I'd probably do it again now and in another month. It won't hurt anything if you use more than you actually need. It will be slow to recover, the grass is dead and with the cooler weather it will not grow back quickly; maybe not until the spring. The main thing is the fungus is not spreading. I lost over half of my lawn to it a couple of years ago and it took from the spring to the fall to recover.

What type of grass is that? Looks like centipede.

Just based on the recent pics I think you just need to fertilize more. Go easy on the nitrogen, use a 1-3-3 ratio product. You can go with more nitrogen in the spring time. That could be some disease but without proper nutrition the grass won't recover quickly.
