Default New lawn dying

Help please,

moved two years ago and laid new turf in Spring 2005, no problems
at all and the lawn was in splendid shape this summer. Last mown
mid October. Now starting to die in patches.


Yahoo won't let me see the photo.
Where did the turf come from? Cultivated or 'Meadow turf'? My guess is
you bought some turf full of annual meadow grass - Poa pratensis and
it's doing what annual grasses do (It's a common weed of ornamental
turf anyway but you shouldn't get much in a decent quality cultivated
turf). If that's the case and you are certain that what you got is not
of the quality you should be able to expect for the price then
complain. If it was cheap, then you got what you paid for.
