Hi u/LawnSolutionsAu - what can I do to stop these lighter patches in my lawn? It’s Sir Walter Buffalo (99% sure) on a slope. Located in Newcastle NSW, gets watered twice a week and mowed once a week/every 10 days.

It looks like it might be from the mower deck, scalping a bit. I would look at raising your mowing height a notch on the slope and ensuring your blades are sharp as its tearing the leaf, might need blades replacing.

Thank you!
