sick looking lawn

[padman]

Can you tell me if this is red thread on this lawn. I cut the grass every 2 weeks for this customer and never noticed it before. But come yesterday it looked horrid.

 

Also what do i need to do to get it looking better.

Looks like 'dollar spot' to me usually caused by a lack of nutrients but without having a proper gander at it I couldn't guarantee that, if I'm right and 'I'm fairly sure I am' (I'm a Greenkeeper by trade) then you'll need to feed the lawn !...

 

Oh, and water it as well !...

Customer hasn't taken it on themselves to apply weed and feed have they?

Need a much closer picture than those to tell what it is.

Get this a lot with over feeding ,looks great until you cut it and expose scorched grass that has dried out .

Stressing the grass out to much and very common with gardens treated by them Lawn treatment Munchkins firms out there .

Once a fortnight is not much for a lawn in the growing season. It looks like it needs scarifying to get some thatch out of it.
