Yellow or brown grass may result from drought, excessive moisture, nutrient deficiencies, fungal disease, insect damage, or seasonal dormancy. Identifying the cause requires evaluating the pattern of discoloration and recent growing conditions.
For example, irregular brown patches may indicate localized water stress, disease, or pest activity. Widespread yellowing can sometimes suggest nutrient deficiencies or soil-related problems.
New Jersey lawns may also experience heat and drought stress during summer. Cool-season grasses can enter dormancy under unfavorable conditions, and their appearance may improve when cooler temperatures and adequate moisture return.
