Broke my butt planting, fertilizing, etc. Had a great lawn. Went away for 10 days starting 6/4. Came back to good size dead looking brown patches. Did not use any grub killer but from what I read it seems to early for them anyway. I know this is not a lot of information but any suggestions on saving my lawn and fixing the problem? This seems to happen every year but usually not until July or August. I do not cut the grass short. I live in north New Jersey.

 

Have you gotten any rain? New grass needs water.

 

I'm with Tolyn - new lawn and away for 10 days and I start thinking lack of water

 

I am watering the hell out of it now. I'll see if it helps.

 

If it was established enough it should come back. If not you will likely need to reseed.
