My neighbor's yards look fine.

I am on the new Street of Dreams - this isn't normal, right?
One more comment on watering your lawn; deep infrequent watering is much better than frequent watering for a short period of time.

In other words, it is better to water twice a week for a long period of time to make sure the water gets into the root system than to water every day for 15 minutes. The latter does not promote deep roots.
