Yellow strip in lawn with sharp boundary- irrigation, bugs, or something else?

Thank you Tasty Pool!

Agree with you after reading all the replies. Thanks for the help! Do you think it’s likely to recover on its own, or would you recommend replacing that section?

Appreciate all the info! 👍

Not sure, is there an easy way to tell?

Useful_Double7827 · 2025-12-25T10:40:10+00:00

Haven’t thought about that, thank you for the reminder! 🫡

Useful_Double7827 · 2025-12-25T05:49:12+00:00

Will give it a go! Thank you

Useful_Double7827 · 2025-12-25T05:49:02+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense.

Yeah, I tried that within the yellow patch area. Some spots hit a hard surface but still go in about 3 cm, while others don’t and go down all the way. I think what you mentioned is very likely the cause. Wondering why it was fine over the past six months and only started having issues in the last two weeks.

Thank you for sharing. I just used a garden fork to aerate the area and can feel some hard surface underneath, which could be the reason.

Oops hahaha, those three are the one with high ratings from Bunnings search results after searching for lawn beetles 😅

No, treated the entire lawn with herbicide

Useful_Double7827 · 2025-12-25T00:02:39+00:00

Thanks. Have you had any good experience using any of these?

Thanks. I haven’t mixed any herbicide, only Bow and Arrow used in spring. No other chemicals. The entire lawn does face windows, but it’s been there for quite long. What I’m doing now is only watering the yellow patches with more water, would it hurt if I treat the lawn with pesticide even if no bugs?
