I'm trying to figure out what type of grass I have since I'm noticing some dead grass rings on my lawn. Any advice on how to identify the grass and what steps I can take to prevent these dead spots from appearing?

It sounds like your mower might be set too low! Try raising the mower height, as mowing too short can cause those rings. Keeping it taller can also improve the overall health of your grass. Additionally, make sure your mower blades are sharp to get a clean cut instead of ripping the grass.
Looks like you might have a mix of clover and weeds in your grass too. Using a weed killer like Speed Zone alongside raising your mower deck and fertilizing could help clear that up while improving your lawn's appearance.
You might want to check if your mower's deck is level. If one side is lower, that can create rings too. Also, if you're using a zero turn mower, take wider turns—dragging one tire can cause those patterns as well. Just a few adjustments can do wonders!
Good call! I've noticed that tight turns with my zero turn also left marks. Widening the turns really helped.
Definitely! Sharpening the blades can make a huge difference in how the grass looks.
