The turf above the buried propane tank in the yard is all yellow and dead in an outline of the tank. Do you know what causes this?

Dead Yellow Grass Outlining Propane Tank
by: Kimberly

Hi Berlin, Kimberly here from landscape solutions for you. Thank you for asking the question on the dead grass around your buired propane tank.

A couple of thoughts come to mind. One is the dead grass around the outline of the tank could be due to a water issue. The grass root system around and near the tank isn't as deep as the rest of your lawn. Watering too much or too little could cause this problem.

Another more serious issue is the possibility of a leak. It could be a small leak. In this case, I would recommend calling the company where the tank was purchased and have them come and check the soil for a chemical leak. Propane tanks or any other chemical tanks buried in the ground have a chance of developing a leak. If you don't think you have a potential leak, another option is to have your soil tested.

Usually if there is a problem around a buried propane tank or septic tank, the entire area where the buried item is affected.

My first recommendation is to make sure there are no leaks. Also, if it is a water issue, look at your watering schedule you are on, and any natural rain. Is there the potential of a water flow problem in the area?

I hope this helps some and please keep us updated on what you find out. Thanks again for asking the question here at landscape solutions for you. Feel free to ask anytime. Have a great day!
Kimberly
