Poor Watering
Lawns need an inch of water a week. Too little and your grass can die and turn brown. But, too much watering and it can destroy your lawn by drowning your plant’s roots.

You may also want to install an irrigation system, which would do the watering for you and can help you maintain consistent watering to help your lawn thrive. If you have an irrigation system, is it being maintained correctly? Did you have a proper spring startup? Have you scheduled your fall blowout? Fall winterization consists of turning off water source at the point where it should be protected from freezing.
Wrong Grass
Selecting the right type of grass is key. Professional lawn care services can test your soil to help determine what kind of grass will grow best. And, planting a variety of species of grass can help your lawn as well. If you plant the wrong kind of grass, it may not grow correctly. A company providing lawn care services will know the right grass and the right grass combinations for your particular property.
Bad Cut
Though you may want to cut as much as you can to avoid having to mow again next weekend, it is important never to over mow your lawn. Make sure to cut off no more than one-third of the blades in a single pass. Leaving grass longer helps it process light and water and develop a healthy root system. This then leads to a healthier, fuller and greener lawn.
