St. Augustine - Brown Spots!!!
I laid 9 pallets of sod about 4 weeks ago. The grass is mostly looking great, it gets plenty of water and is rooting itself well. However 4 spots have started to brown. They're about 2 feet in diameter and all in fairly close proximity to one another. The photos don't really show the contrast well, the spots are more profound in real life.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys!

Start with a screwdriver test -- make sure that there isn't a rock a couple of inches down.

Done. No rocks at least 8 inches down.

With the bright color around the edge of the area, it appears to be brown patch/large patch.

Classic brown patch disease. Off the shelf fungicides from big box stores or garden centers should take care of it.
