I found that there is very little fertilizer being put down by most contractors. You need to buy it yourself and apply it to the lawn. The cutting height depends on what grass you have if you don't know bring a sample to home depot and they will tell you. As for brown grass patches. if it only happens part of the year. Then it may be too much or too little water. If it is always there. Then cut the grass in the brown area very low. add seed to the area. or replace it with sod. both will solve the problem.
