This could be due to moss growing in the lawn. Check to see what's growing amongst the grass. If it is you can get plenty of lawn feeds with mosskiller or just straight mosskiller. Apply it and rake up the dead moss after about 10 days. The moss goes black after about three days which makes it pretty unsightly but it's worth it in the end.

I would be inclined to agree with IanDB, it sounds as if you have quite a bit or moss. If it is really bad you may want to hire a motorised scarifier after the moss killer has done its job. The moss will slowly reappear overtime unless you keep on top of it with regular raking.

Your lawn may look incredibly bare once you have removed most of the moss, so you may want to put some seed down quickly before the weeds get chance to flourish.

I hate to admit it, but the boy's right! At least it's green!

You ought to see my school "lawns", 1/2 an acre of green, shame it's 60% moss
