The builders could still have plonked spoil in one place OR you could have
a
naturally boggy area there. Is it remotely possible there's some sort of
drain or pipe that's broken just under the surface there?


I suppose there is a slim possibility that there's a drain etc underneath
although, after the stones were removed it laid dormant as just soil for a
while and appeared to have the moisture content which I would have expected.

It would seem that the yellow tinge is spreading throughout the lawn now -
just the tips in some areas. It's not all bright yellow by any means -
still looks really nice from a distance.

It's beginning to sound as if there's something in the soil - chemical?,
mineral? - that's affecting that particular area, don't you think? I wonder
if you could take some samples and get them analysed. Do any neighbours
have this problem? You don't have a dog that 'goes' in one area do you?
