One common problem is a dull mower blade. Be sure to check for shredded tips of grass blades. Grass blades are composed of 98% water. When you mow more than 1/3 off the grass blade it can put added stress onto the turf plant. We recommend if you see this to water after mowing the lawn. Mowing the lawn during the hottest part of the day can also contribute to discoloration.

As long as you are never mowing more than 1/3 of the grass blade it is recommended to mulch them back into the lawn. This provides free nutrients back into the lawn. On occasion you may want to bag your clippings, for instance if the grass got really long between mowing. If there is disease present in the turf, removing the clippings may help to reduce the spread of some diseases.
