Is it just dry rot or something more serious? I have no idea. Should I do the sod myself? Awfully hard to tell without some pictures. It could be anything from fungus to just a dry summer. That said, I'm a big believer in sowing grass seed, rather than sodding. Far more economical, and (usually) better long-term results.

And, it is so hot and dry right now I would postpone planting new seed. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
