Hi there...I visited a master gardener today and they had no idea from the pictures I showed them. They said they were not familiar with lawn and that there are other people who work with lawns. Where can I contact them? Below are some pics of our lawn. It started in our neighbors. You can see the difference in the two lawn colors. Now it is spreading in small patches on our lawn all over :( Where can we get info on what this is and how to treat it? Thank you!

The photos of your lawn are not good enough for diagnosis. The shade from the tree is leaving dark and light spots. I am guessing that there is a different type of grass moving in to your lawn. I could be Rough Bluegrass. The link I am giving you describes that grass. Also if you go to the top and just click on 'Grass", it will bring up other selections. http://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/weed/grass/roughbluegrass.html
hi there...where can we bring a sample of our grass to get it looked at to get definite confirmation? We know there is a new grass moving in but we want to make sure before we treat it that we know what it is. Thanks so much for your help.
Here is a link to your county Extension office. Contact them to see where this service is available in your area. http://www3.extension.umn.edu/local/scott
