Many of the lawns have turned brown in the last week. IMHO, it's the record heat but also cutting the lawn too close that's causing the problem. Zoysia does not do well when cut less than 3" during very hot and dry periods. The people cutting don't seem to know or care. They're only interest is getting done. If you let the grass grow without cutting for two weeks, it should come back, with some watering of course.
