Kay, Thanks for your response.

No it's not extensive and I don't think it's deep. I'd say that about
20% of my lawn has brown/gray dead grass laying down.

Are you saying the grass is dead in about 20% of the lawn? If so,
the first thing I'd do is pull cores from those areas and see if you
can see what might be happening. Unless you've got a *really* bad
thatch problem in those areas, it's not likely that thatch is the
issue.
