There are many reasons why brown and yellow patches can suddenly show up in your lawn. It could be due to disease, pests, or simply because your grass isn’t getting enough water. But whatever the reason, it’s not a pleasant sight.
Some of the possible causes of brown grass patches:
- Drought
- Fungal infections
- Disease
- Pests
- Poor drainage
- Compacted soil
- Lack of nutrients in the soil
- Sprinklers are set incorrectly
- Excessive trees or shade
- Weeds
- Thatch
- Cold temperatures
- One word: Pets
Some possible causes of yellowing grass include:
- Disease
- Pests
- Nutrient deficiency
- Drought
- Overwatering
As you can see, it can be difficult to determine exactly why your grass has suddenly (or gradually) turned brown or yellow. It can be a fairly large expense just to have the brown or yellow patches diagnosed.
And even then, the “solution” usually requires multiple expensive lawn treatments or signing up for a year-round lawn care service.
None of which are even guaranteed to work.
Some homeowners actually go so far as to “paint” brown patches of their lawn green with chemicals! But even if you’re able to match the color of your existing grass, this is obviously only a temporary solution—and one that can get pretty expensive. And if you’ll forgive the pun, it’s just putting a patch over the actual problem.
(Painting your lawn bright green with a pump sprayer can also look pretty ridiculous in front of the neighbors, to say the least. It can also make a pretty big mess of your pet—or your child—if they enter that area of the lawn.)
So, if you’re tired of your lawn looking like a disaster, it might be time to consider artificial turf. Artificial turf is a great way to achieve a beautiful green lawn all year round, without any of the hassle.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of artificial turf:
- It’s low maintenance. You don’t have to water it or fertilize it, and there’s no mowing required. Ever.
- It’s durable. Artificial turf can withstand heavy foot traffic and is resistant to pests and diseases.
- It’s environmentally-friendly. Artificial turf doesn’t require the use of harmful chemicals, and it can even be recycled and reused. In fact, installing used artificial turf on your lawn is a great way to save money and reduce your carbon footprint.
- It’s safe for kids and pets. Artificial turf is soft and bouncy, and there are no poisonous chemicals or sharp blades of grass to worry about.
- It looks great all year round. Even in the heat of summer and the cold of winter. And of course, you won’t have to deal with mysterious brown patches or yellowing grass—ever again.
Artificial turf is the perfect solution for those who want to get rid of their brown patches and have a green lawn all-year-round.
With artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about watering, mowing, or fertilizing your lawn. It’s also great for people with allergies, as synthetic grass doesn’t contain pollen or other allergens.
If you’re tired of dealing with brown patches in your lawn, artificial turf is the perfect solution. It’s low maintenance, looks great, and will save you time and money in the long run.
