Dark green patches on lawn

[Turfinator]

I have many darker green patches about 1 foot wide all over my back yard and a few in my front. These patches have grass that looks healthy but it grows much faster than the rest of my lawn. There is no dead grass or brown grass just dark green patches that have seemed to multiply on my lawn. I first thought this may be due to our new female retriever and the nitrogen in her urine but I have also seen this in the front yard and on a boulavard down the street. Any ideas?

If not your dog, probably other dogs or other animals in the area.

Sounds like classic signs of a dog relieving him/herself.

I was sure of it too except I have it in my front yard which is not accesible to the dog or other dogs in the area.

Man I hacked that up while my Basset Hound was trying to play lap dog.

Do you live in a newer sub-division?

Too many stupid answers to one decent question.
