Good Morning,
You must first figure out what the problem is before you can decide how/who should treat it. I can't tell by the photo because it is too blurry when I expand it. Can you send some new pictures? In the meantime here is some information on lawn diseases. You may be able to determine which disease it is and then follow the management listed.

You can also send in your images by e-mail to the MSU Plant & Pest Diagnostics Lab. The experts there can also provide you with the best treatment options. Their email is <personal data hidden> - Please include your name – The lab will let you know if they need a sample sent.
I hope this helps. Thanks for using our service.

Thanks Doreen. I have forwarded new photos of my grass to the “pestid” email.
