| Endured the blistering summer yet the grass stayed green and lush... we've gotten a break on the heat and the lawn was last fertilized in early July... has been watered properly and cut @ 3" every 3-4 days.
Within the last week it has stopped growing, several areas tinted tan and appears to be thinning... neighbor's lawns are doing the same thing. Does the grass think it's winter? |

| In order to help diagnose the problem these couple of questions should help us. What type of grass do you have? Honestly, I doubt it's the temperatures. My TTTF stays mostly green until the snow sets in. |

| Try pulling up on it. if the lawn looks drought stressed or going dormant when conditions are ripe, you should consider grubs or a disease process going on. |

| Lawn is KBG... last fertilization in early July with Scott's Step 3... was lush/green and perfect until last week when temps went from 90-100f to 50-60f... now it looks dormant. Plenty of water, nothing changed but ambient temps. Should I put the Scott's step 4 down now or wait? I trimmed it back to 2.5" as it was aerated the other day (this problem begun prior to aeration) |
