I had a problem a few years ago that looked exactly like your photos.
Mine turned out to be grubs. *I understand they eat the roots and the
grass dies.

I had to apply a couple of applications of grub eliminator (what ever
brand it was - I think Bayer).

Just my $.02 worth. *Good luck.


Could be grubs or other insects or disease. Impossible to
determine just from a photo. You can lift back about a
square foot of turf in a few spots and look for grubs around
the root zone, a couple of inches down. If you have more
than a few, then that could be it. Also, when they eat the
roots, the turf can be pulled up easily, almost like carpet.
