This is the first time I have this kind of lawn. It turns brown in winter. Do I still need to winterize it? If yes, when? Is it too late now? Thanks.

Any idea where you live?
North Carolina. Sounds like there might be a chance that it's not too late.
Yes. I live here....

Winterize now and in the Spring you need to plant some trees!

Go ahead and let the darn thing die.
Every Saturday spent pushing a lawn mower around a yard is one less day on the boat.
Is there any behavior stranger than spending $$$$$ on fertilizer, $$$$ on water, and $$$$ on a lawn mower just so your days off will be monopolized by an expanse of ridiculous vegetation?
If there is, it must have something to do with owning a boat. :-)
You make a good point here.

You are running a smorgasboard for grubs. Next spring treat the lawn to some insect killer, once again about June, and a third time in Aug. Meantime, rent a thatcher, or buy a thatcher blade for your lawnmower, rake up all the dead stuff and reseed.
For reason's I can't explain the strip between Syracuse and Buffalo is Grub heaven. Gotta kill them off at least every Aug. Miss a year and you get to start over on your lawn (I know from experience)
I would really like to know what sort of grass is planted along the expressways -- it seems to resist grubs, and stay green all summer!
