The short answer
A lawn usually turns yellow because of too much water, too little water, poor soil, too much shade or mowing too short. Look at where the yellow patches are and when they started. Patches near sprinklers or low spots often mean too much water; patches in the sun often mean too little.
What to check
- 01
Check the water
Soggy soil means too much. Dry, hard soil means too little.
- 02
Check the soil
Hard, poor soil stops roots from growing.
- 03
Check the shade
Most lawn grasses need several hours of sun.
- 04
Check the mowing
Cutting too short stresses the grass.
