Seasonal grass will turn brown in the winter. I can't make any
recommendations on how to have a (winter) green lawn without knowing
your location. Generally fall is the most effective time for lawn
care in the US.

This is the first time I have this kind of lawn. It turns brown in
winter. Do I still need to winterize it? If yes, when? Is it too
late now? Thanks.
Any idea where you live?
Yes. I live here....

You are running a smorgasboard for grubs. Next spring treat the lawn to
some insect killer, once again about June, and a third time in Aug.
Meantime, rent a thatcher, or buy a thatcher blade for your lawnmower,
rake up all the dead stuff and reseed.
For reason's I can't explain the strip between Syracuse and Buffalo is
Grub heaven. Gotta kill them off at least every Aug. Miss a year and
you get to start over on your lawn (I know from experience)
I would really like to know what sort of grass is planted along the
expressways -- it seems to resist grubs, and stay green all summer!
