Hello everyone! Last Tuesday I cut my grass and after speaking with someone I’ve realized I never have sharpened my blades on my lawn mower and I’ve been using it for a year. One week later I’m seeing my grass with the tips burned…is this due to my blades or something else? What do you guys think. I live in Central Florida near Davenport .

Dull blades can definitely cause this. They are not hard to sharpen with a hand file or grinder
Dull blades, not a big deal, the next cut with sharp blades will cut off the brown edges
Yes your entire lawn has leaftip damage from a dull blade, but pic 1 shows you also have dollarspot taking hold about to nuke your lawn.
It’s not burn.
Dull mower blades, you can see the ragged edges. It’s tearing the grass instead of cutting it.
Dull blades, although it’s possible that IF you had sharpened your blades you put them on backwards.
Dull blades, remove the nut holding the rotating edge and get it sharpened before putting it back on
Check your blades, either on the wrong way or hopefully just insanely dull
I’m gonna go against the grain and say that’s not dull blades. Some of the yellowing is on uncut blades so that wouldn’t make sense. Depending on the rain and humidity you’ve gotten my bet is beginnings of fungus. Hit it up with some disease EX
