Hi there,I've just taken over this garden, cut the grass last week for the first time (had been long until the week before, someone else cut it and i cut it a week later.To me it looks like an over treatment and its scorched the grass - am I right/wrong - advice please. Bit worried about it looking so rubbish a week after I took it over .I know I've not done anything to it so it has to be that digit company but need to go back with some comments from you experts out there.I told the client to get them back out sharpish last week and they basically said its down to cutting it too short and they applied something else - client unsure what they put on ?? - its now two weeks later and its looking worse.

    funnily enough, I stuck some photos of rather similar problems a couple of months back.....only I'd done the grass maintenance so couldn't blame anyone else. General consensus was to lift up a piece of the turf and see whats going on down below........ well I did that and there was nothing out of the ordinary and the grass seems to have recovered now!!

    Its only on one side of the grass about 2 mow lines wide and quite patchy - not particularily mossy there which makes me think its over treated.

    I had a dig underneath and its not brown/dead underneath just yellowish, nothing else to see. Its been wet here for the past week so not lack of water.

    Looks like over application, i know some lawn maintenance companies do tend to over applicate, i would rake over removing the dead grass, thatch and see if it picks up, if not then either re seed or turf. Looks as thought hey havnt used an applicator either.

    Considering the grass has been long and just got cut it's nothing for you to worry about. I'd just carry on and advise the client it will take a while to recover. It will come back.

    Leave that area to rest and don't cut over it.

    I've taken a long look at the photo's. It's hard to get a complete picture so I can't be diffinitive but if I had to lay odds I would have to say 75% weed killer, 20% standing water, 5% god knows.
