Paging Ronk/Crawdude...

Did it green up with the rest of the lawn and then die? Seems like Take All Root Rot. Does the spot retain water? I'd go get some Scotts disease x and apply a thin layer of peat moss.

Most of my front yard looks like this. It never greened up after the winter. I’ve raked out the dead grass, aerated, and put some seed down. Not sure if that was the right thing to do, but it looks like it’s getting better and some of the seed is germinating

At this point, all I want is green. Don’t really care about the grass type. It looks that bad

Im a St Aug fan, have some in my backyard taking over, and wish I would have sodded the front with st. aug from day 1, 20 years ago.

Never too late…

I think the late freeze and weather really damaged a lot of lawns. I’ve noticed a lot of dead spots and slow to recover lawns.

I had some spots like that, roots seemed rotten and grass would be bleach white. I thinks it’s fungal because saw some spider web like fungal stuff on dew grass blades one am. I could pull up st August strands and roots are short and very dark.

I sprayed with fungal spray.. couple weeks later did Scott’s disease ex and am slowly applying peat moss to the worst spots . Seems to be working. I also applied grub ex because I was really paranoid about it.

Do you feel like they have gotten bigger recently or has it stopped?

looks like it has stopped, and also appears to maybe be greening up already over the past couple days.

I have read yall post about not doing "weed and feed" but rather doing it separately.

would you still recommend the Scotts Disease Ex on the brown spots, or apply a whole yard fertilizer? if so, what? thanks.
I think once the centipede starts greening and growing good, it usually chokes out the early weeds present now. but you are the expert. im listening.

I have not put down anything yet this year.
some years I dont do anything, if I do put stuff out, its usually bonus s

If you think that it stopped then I would apply Scott's disease X.

would not* I gather.

what about a fertilizer right now?

Yeah, would not. I would not fertilize right now either. As mentioned by the poster above me it could be winter injury. If you have grass regrowing then it may have only affected the leaf and not the runner.

Follow up with new pics or comments so we can follow up on the situation. Tons of guys with insight that can help. Craw obviously but lsutigerme and tilco are very knowledgeable as well.
