Large patch spots from last year.

I have a few brown circles in the backyard that I can still see. Do I need to do anything to these or will they fill in once the grass comes back stronger?

Just a scar. It should fill in. It will be a little bit behind the rest of your lawn for a couple weeks. Just make sure nothing is actively growing. If large patch is active you can easily pull the leaf blade out. Look for black lesions at the base of the leaf.

That’s what I was hoping. I put some fungicide I got from Home Depot down last summer but I don’t really know if that did anything.

Two good fungicides are azoxystrobin and propiconizole. A severe fungus may need two applications 21 days apart. Also, rotate your fungicides.

I see those around my neighborhood and assume they are from sod webworm. They were bad last year.

My centipede looks great except these. Hoping they pull through. Most are circles, but one is pretty irregular.

Feel like I might be dealing with the same issue. I manage the front and back yards equally the same. Front has greened up great, but back looks shite with a bunch of brown patches. I have no clue what’s going on, or if I need to do something or just be patient.

Yes - two. You think they’re the culprits?

Probably. They females? There’s science behind it but I imagine it to be like salty excess nitrogen....both of which centipede hates.
It’ll come back. I deal with a few spots like that every year. Fewer this year since we lost one of our dogs

Sorry to hear that. I know what you mean, too. I’d much rather have them around and bitch about my grass than it be the other way around. But, between Hurricane Sally and them, my backyard has took a beating since August.

Where you at? I’m in Spanish Fort. Good looking backyard.

Just a couple things I see and hopefully others chime in too. Front and back get the same products, same water so it’s nothing you applied. Fenced in backyards get less air flow than front yards so the leaf blades stay wetter longer. Could be remnants of a fungus. Grey leaf spot on St Aug is a good example of a backyard but not front yard fungus. Does the backyard drain as well as the front?

Large patch scar for you. Shouldn’t be an issue in a couple weeks.

Front yard drains perfect. Back yard drains just ok, but does have a tendency to pond with all the rain we get in South AL.
Just my second summer at this home and have yet to apply fungicide. Perhaps I should.
Sounds like I’m dealing with dog urine and perhaps fungus. Any chance I can get this thing back decent before the summer? How would one go about that?

I don’t think you have huge issues. Aerate, level low spots, fertilize.
Posted on 3/18/21 at 10:57 am to ronk
Ronk: Any suggestions on fert ratio? Should I also throw in some seed when leveling?
Posted on 3/18/21 at 11:13 am to ronk
Is this the time to start leveling low areas, or should I wait a little longer until the grass is growing more?
