Default Beautiful Lawn turning into Crabgrass

...
All reasonable advice would be appreciated.
I have a big amount of lawn approximately 10,000 square feet. Location
Northern California. The lawn was established when I purchased the
house. It is a thin blade grass. I use the 'Scotts' fertilizer plan
and water regularly. The lawn was absolutely beautiful a few months
ago (April & May) but recently it has turned brown in spots and looks
dry and has lots of crabgrass. Please advice, what can I do to get my
beautiful lawn back. I also aerote twice a year.
Thanks,


You don't say what kind of grass it is, if it is fescue it will naturally
thin over
a period of years and will need to be over seeded to maintain a thick lawn.
Any thinning that occurs gives weeds and crabgrass an oppurtunity to
thrive.
