What is Causing Brown Grass?
There is nothing that stands out more to the eye than dead grass. It draws our attention right away & gives the wrong idea about your business or home. Below are reasons that your grass could be turning brown & ways to try & avoid this in the future.
1. WEEDS
Constant enemies of your healthy lawn are even healthier weeds. Often they will sprout up & leech the nutrients from the soil meant for your yard.
2. MOWING
Sometimes brown grass is only a symptom of its care. Make sure your lawnmower’s blades are sharp, & only cut one-third of the grass’s total height.
3. HEAT
In the hottest summer months, your lawn stores more nutrients in the roots, & when the weather cools down, the grass will again turn green.
4. LAWN DISEASE
Believe it or not, your lawn can become sick & die because of lawn disease. It will start as a small spot, expanding outwards to the rest of the property. One possible cause of this is a fungus.
5. INSECTS
Insects can be the reason your green grass is turning brown. These pests may be found in the grass, feeding on it & depriving it of nutrients.
6. HERBICIDE
Herbicides help kill weeds & unwanted plants; however, the wrong herbicides can cause your lawn to turn yellow or brown.
