In coarser grasses like St. Augustine, maintained at taller cutting heights, the dead spots are larger approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.   Dollar spot can be distinguished by lesions on the leaf blades along the borders of infected areas. The lesions are typically gray or brown int he center with reddish-brown borders.  The best way to correct this problem is fertilization and proper irrigation.  Please call for a free estimate!

Often times, while expanding outwards, the inside of the circle will recover, leaving the brown areas resembling a smoke-ring, or multiple smoke rings as it expands.
