Any grass experts

Grass (not sure what type)  has started yellowing in patches 1st photo no problem. 2nd a little bit of yellow, 3rd has you can see its spread in one corner

Thanks

I guess you could call that stuff "grass"

Sure ain't no Kentucky Bluegrass

Nor Bermuda.

Nor St Augustine.

You'll never get stripes with that.

How will you keep up with the Jones* ?

*People dumb enough to waste time and money growing something totally useless with no flowers, requires watering in dry season, no fruit or redeeming qualities other than saying look at me I'm so rich I don't need to grow food here only useless weeds

It looks like Manila Grass. I'll send a link that tells more and how to care for them. Thailand is like Texas, where some grasses need constant watering or will burn. My lawn is a combination of a few, mostly St. Augustine, which grows well but does need that water, here in the rainy season it does well, but when the rain stops, it browns. i have a huge lawn that costs a lot to water using the pump daily, so I just let it brown a little, and now it's all green...............https://easyscape.com/categories/grass?address=bangkok-thailand&filter=native

It keeps dirt out of your house, is easy and clean and walk on, protects the soil and looks good. Locals don't bother as you can't eat it.

Dog pee?, try a little lime in one spot, if it greens then let it sweeten the soil

Looks like Malaysian grass. I have the same and it yellows in spots now and then. Went to the nursery and asked them. They gave me a bag of pawyee

ปุ๋ยโฟม pellets which we throw on sparingly over the lot (not just the affected area) then water it in. Does the trick returning the grass to a nice thick dark green.

Good luck!

It looks like Malaysia grass. The scruffy grass we removed and replaced with Malaysia grass. It creeps well, filling in spots. It does need dry season watering here just south of Hua Hin.

Carpet grass, Axonopus compressus. The stuff is everywhere, even in our yard.

Over watering or lack of nitrogen? Circular yellow patches also may indicate root rot.

Anything wrong with having both grass and vegetables?

It is Malay grass, I have it in my yard and have the same problems, been ongoing for years. Ripped the whole yard out 3 years ago and just about a year later the light green or yellow areas came again. Just have to live with it. This time of year with my house facing west I have the most problems with the grass as the sunlight is much less than other months.

My lawn was all dirt when the house was built. I just let the surrounding grass spread, and it was all types in Thailand, including all the weeds. I must have pulled a ton of weeds out through the last 8 + years, including those ones with stickers that are annoying.

It had a lot of clover, but cutting it down let the St. Augustine take over, and it's still mixed.

I always planned to move, but still like the grass so tried to take care of it. The St. Augustine is like back home in Texas and needs a lot of water during the dry times, so I just try to keep it from dying then. I couldn't find a Weed & Feed here so just pulled the weeds by hand. My whole lawn is exposed to the sun all day so it's not easy to keep it green outside of the rainy season.

Texas has a lot more days without rain so the grass takes a beating there unless you're watering daily.

Its Malay Fred and if you think about it we have Dec-April with very little rain so we have to do a lot of watering daily, meaning everyday if you want it green.

I am very happy to have a nice green lawn in the front of my house, not many Thai's here in my muban have the energy to get out and water daily, so most dont have nice green lawns, but many have varying degrees of nice hot cement that requires no maintenance.

Yes, the same with that St. Augustine. I have a lawn in an L shape, 40 x 20 yards on one side and 50 x 25 on the other. Takes a lot of water as the soil is porous down a little, and evaporates quick unless I water near dark. I had all types on grass, including Malay but the St. Augustine takes over with it's runners eventually.

I have a well but using the pump daily, with a fear of the well going too low in those hot months has me watering every three days just to keep it alive during those months. The electric bill also doubles if I do.

If this was a house i would be staying in longer I would do more, but it's the only lawn within 20 miles of here at least, and the locals like it. I'm in the country with the village 1/2 kilo away, closest neighbor 300 yards, next 300 yards, the rest further.

My ex didn't understand why I wanted the grass, as she's from here, but the compliments she received taught her what it meant. I let her cousin in the closest house from me 300 yards away have his buffalo eat it sometimes.

Imagine if Thailand became like the West, where everyone must have a perfect garden with a grass lawn in front of the house, or even worse, all around the house. ;-) There is enough water during the rainy season, but eventually Thailand could also face an environmental crisis, especially in heavily populated areas.

The more Thailand develops, the more modern agriculture develops at the same time. More and more farmers can afford solar powered water pumps that can run 24/7, filling ponds where much of the water evaporates, or simply pumping and watering more than necessary, wasting valuable and vulnerable groundwater, some of which can take hundreds or even thousands of years to replenish.

Sorry for being the party pooper, and it indeed looks nice to have some green around the house here in Thailand, especially in some moobans. The trick is to have some useful plants that keep the soil moist more efficiently, and locally adapted grass and ground cover that are easier to maintain, even if they might not look perfect in Western eyes. ;-)

I have a klong behind the house we use a solar pump to do all the watering with. We use Malay grass which is locally adapted and the most common in Thailand. Trees and plants cover the sunniest areas if you have a good look.

The way my house faces off the guest room we have orchids on the side that gets minimal sun, and succulents and cacti or the sunny side.

We grow grass, and it serves a very practical purpose by keeping dust under control. We simply buy our fruit and vegetables from the local market or supermarket rather inexpensive.

You don't have to be dumb, rich, or wealthy to appreciate having a well-maintained patch of grass around your home. People have different priorities and preferences, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Belittling other people's choices simply because they differ from your own is, in my opinion, rather infantile, immature - and, ironically, rather dumb.

Very nice indeed. You are doing a good job, and it is also a great hobby to have in Thailand. Something that can add a lot to everyday life without needing to be anything more than that.

A nice patch of lawn can help reduce the ambient temperature compared to concrete or dirt.

This type of grass is called temple grass in Thailand and is commonly known as Manila grass (scientific name: Zoysia matrella). In Thai, it's called "Ya Nual Noi." I have a lawn of this grass myself. If you want it to stay green all the time, you need to water it daily during the dry season.
