is my lawn under watered? *pictures*
 

hello,

I have just taken interest in my garden, and found that at the back of my garden there is a big 1/4 circle of a mixture of green grass and brown grass together above this there is a massive tree where leaves cover that area of grass.

i noticed that could be the problem so i have recently started watering the grass every couple of days with a hose pipe on spray mode because the top part look very dry, i also have aerated the lawn with a fork which i thought would help.

After a few weeks of hosing it and aerating, it does look like its coming back to life, i also have a dog that wee's on the grass but i hose it down when she has finished, and she usually wees all over bottom part and top part of the grass and as you can see the bottom part of my grass is really green (out of the tree) where it gets alot of water.

what do you think?
