Most of the time, dead or frazzled grass indicates you need to sharpen your lawn mower blade, especially if the problem is only on the tips of the leaves. A dull blade will shred the ends of the leaves and cause them to die back a little. Properly maintaining your lawn mower is an integral part of home lawn maintenance, as frayed or chewed off grass blades are an invitation for disease invasion of turf.
