No one else had mentioned this and we see this kind of dark, dead area all over this neighborhood. Has anyone else heard of this? Has anyone used Fertigator and gotten good results? Frankly, i think Lake Deaton has some of the worst looking lawns in the Villages.
Any info is appreciated, as always.

I think you have a NEW lawn. They lay down sod. If, you look at it is good looking grass with only about 1/2 an inch of root. They actually cut off the roots so it is far easier to transport and install. For a new lawn you need to water it frequently and apply a new lawn fertilizer-will be like 10-24-10. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION-if it says 25 pounds to 5000 sq ft putting twice that much is not better you can kill your not rooted in lawn. If, you have zoyzia. In the villages, it is empire zoysia. People who sell this are licensed by the company and what they are selling is monitored. As to fungus. Sounds like a FLORIDA snow job. It is too early in the year for there to be a fungus problem. Take a sample to the cooperative extension it is free and they will tell you what is wrong without trying to sell you stuff.
As to mole crickets. Each insect has it's own time. I think it is too early for mole crickets. If, you have them you will see toads by your light at night looking for an easy meal.
