Re-sod the places that are brown and lay down some fresh grass seed. To prevent them, keep animals out of your yard, urine spots will make the grass die.

This can be done by making sure every part of your lawn is thoroughly watered, especially in very hot dry months. Also, it helps to fertilize and treat your yard for weeds.

It may also be necessary to plant seeds or use a hydroseed product to help get rid of the dead grass. Then create a lawn maintenance plan including pesticides, fertilizer and water. Once the plan is created you need to follow it to a tee.

Water in the morning can help get rid of brown spots on your lawn. You can also use fertilizer, and be sure not to mow when it is hot.

Brown spots in your lawn could be the result of not enough water, to much nitrogen, or both. Regular, thorough watering of the areas in question combats both potential problems. If you have an automatic irrigation system, check it to make sure water is reaching the areas that are brown. Also, encourage your dog(s) to focus their attentions elsewhere.

Properly maintaining you lawn should get rid of the brown spots. With a little bit of work and some patience you can get your lawn back up to the condition you desire. Fertilize your lawn with an organic fertilizer every 6-8 weeks. Keep the grass tall by setting your mower blade on high.
