What is wrong with my grass?

    I think you’ll have to show a bit more than a long distance photo,  a close up of the yellow patches would be good.

    One neighbour looking at it would be worth a thousand pictures.

    Poor prep, poor soil and possible problems below ground/turf level [ie drainage issues] are the most common reasons for grass to fail or not thrive well @comoeesta_01, so if you can give us more info on all of that, it will help too  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Drainage I would say. I have one corner of my garden that doesn't drain very well and it always ends up like that in winter. Yellowy and bare patches. 

    Is it a new build? Do you know what's under the grass?

    I'm assuming the lawn is wet. When it rains and it doesn't drain very well? It looks like pythium.

    Maybe turfed with a mixed sward(species). Some grass like the site better than others. 

    Supply more info 

    is it a new build/ newly turfed what have you done to site. ?

    Hi, yes clay soil under, I tried to get rid of it as much as I could, but it also have big stones. Fairygirl said:
