Lawn damaged by overgrown plant

Hello, We have a bedding area in our garden for our plants and one of the them grew a bit too wildly and continued on to our lawn, I should have cut it back but I allowed it to continue, I did cut it back a few weeks ago and the grass that it covered was brown in colour, It was only a small area at first but it seems to be spreading and it looks awful, Any advice on how to sort it out would be appreciated, Regards Cumnor.

Grass has amazing power of regenerating. Leave it alone for few more weeks, maybe water patch if dry. Is it getting rainfall? Perhaps there is some overhanging tree?

I spend a lot of money and effort on my lawn. It is not really worth the effort. Mine looks pretty bad at the moment. Over the winter it will look great though. I am going to throw the towel at it next year and leave it alone.

I will let nature take its course so, Thanks lads.

Hi, with a bit of TLC, you grass will grow back again... what I would recommend is that you rake out the "brown" grass - get back to soil level, rake the top few centermetres of soil to loosen up, water the area and sow some grass seed, keep the area moist & you will soon have new grass growing... if the soil ain't too good, then you can buy a bag (depending on the area affected, may need more than one bag) of top soil from a place like woodies/B&Q and rake into the area...

What type of plant caused this?
