Diagnosis
Diagnose: Buffalo Grass Thin Patchy
Use these observations to decide what to check next.
A site pattern, seasonal dormancy, or concentrated wear
Check the calendar and the runners before repairing anything.
Cool-weather straw color with flexible rooted runners suggests dormancy, while loose brittle crowns suggest death.
In summer, the boundaries drawn by shade, sprinkler coverage, slopes, paths, and mower passes tell you more than color does.
