I'll assume you don't have St. Augustine in that climate. Roll back the turf
and see how many grubs you find.

With a sharp hoe, make a cut and tear the sod back in the area in
question.
Look for grubs. If you have more than 2 in that area, it's grubs and I
recommend Milky Spore.
It appears to be St. Augustine turf, if so, it can also be a pathogen
which
causes brown patch or take all patch. Do a search and see if it looks or
sounds
familiar.
On the Japanese maple, where do you live?

#1 is a patch of brown grass in my lawn that has seemed to die, in the
last
two weeks it appears that I now have a bunch of these brown patches.
What
could it be? Grubs? And if you know what the problem is, what is the
fix?
#2 is a photo of some sort of japanese maple. First, can you identify
it?
Second, you'll notice that some branches did not sprout leaves this year.
Do I just consider them dead branches and cut them off? Or is this a
sign
of a deeper problem.
Your help is always appreciated.
