No. Its hard to explain, the brown grass isn't in patches, its
intermixed with the nice green grass. Kind of a "salt and pepper" type
thing. Right now there is more green than brown, I'm just worried that
it will go the other way.

Hi,
We recently moved in to a new house. The entire lawn came from a
local sod farm. Now that the snow has melted I notice alot of brown,
dead blades of grass in with the good green grass. I thought this
was thatch and it could be thatched out, however after researching
this and other newsgroups it seem that thatch is stuff beneath the
grass on the surface of the soil. It almost seems that the lawn is
dying. This brown grass isn't in one spot it is through the entire
lawn. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I purchased a coring
aerator and a dethatcher to pull behind my lawn tractor.
Unfortunately my new tractor hasn't been delivered yet.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff

Do the dying areas pull up from the soil easily? (grubs)

It may be a surface insect like chinch bug or even billbug.

Try a fertilizer with insect conrol combo.

...only guessing here.
