    Top-dress with clean soil, dragging a long plank or similar across the grass to fill the holes and produce a level surface.

    Top dressing favors grass and stifles weeds. A high nitrogen fertilizer helps, eg a few handfuls of dynamic lifter dissolved in a bucket of water, this helps suppress clover and moss.

    It is possible that the previous owner (unscrupulously) planted a short life grass, like ryegrass. It grows quickly, looks lovely for about 1-3 years and then dies. It is normally mixed with another kind of grass seed to fill in the lawn while the slower growing, but longer lived grass seed gets established. Unfortunately, for a less than honest home seller, unmixed short life turf seed can give you a cheap, fast, gorgeous lawn while you sell the house and the buyer is left holding the bag when the grass dies off.

    The other possibility is that you have a fungus that is killing the lawn. This article outlines the most common kinds of fungus that attck lawns:

    I would recommend removing them. Not only would it throw the drainage off, it may cause problems for anyone who needs to dig there in the future.

    I am sorry, but due to the fact that many toxic mushrooms look like non-toxic mushrooms, we do not identify mushrooms. We recommend that you do not eat them unless a local mushroom expert has properly identified them.

    This is a sign of under watering. Increase watering. You will also want to perhaps re-roll the sod. It may not be making connections all the way with the ground below.
