Hate joining a forum and starting off with a question but...

Zoysia lawn in S.C. - in the back yard I am starting to see these small piles of dirt or something. Up close they are little balls stocked on top. When I rake them up there is a half dollar dead spot and the ground is somewhat compacted.

Lawn has been good this year (weed/fungus standpoint). Follow the Carolina Fresh farms program for the most part with healthy doses of milorganite throughout the year.

Had some sevin dust granules so I put some down yesterday along with the normal fungicide treatment.

I'm no expert, but probably earthworms. Sevin dust will kill them, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

Yeah, looks like worm castings to me. The are unsightly, but worm activity is generally thought of as good for the soil/turf.

Welcome to TLF! :thumbup:

Those appear to be worm castings..........nothing to worry about.
