It is possible you gave it too much water or too much fertilizer. Fertilizer can burn the roots.
Why the grass in your lawn are greener if you add a little fertilizer to it but it dies if you add a lot of it?
This is called a "burn-out." The grass cannot handle the excess fertilizer because it now acts like a poison and will die. It's just like if you take too much aspirin for a headache, you can overdose and die. Too much of anything can be bad for any organism.
What happens if you give plants too little fertilizer?
You definitely can give plants too much fertilizer - although it depends on the type of fertilizer as to what the consequences are. Too much fertilizer will poison the plants and make them either die or become sickly and more easily attacked by diseases and pests. Most granular and liquid fertilizers are basically salts and when they become concentrated in a solid or liquid form a burn can occur. Some weed-and-feed fertilizers actually work by overstimulating the growth of the weeds so that their growth exceeds the ability of their roots to supply water and nutrition once the fertilizer is used up - thus killing the weed. Too much fertilizer can cause the same problem in desirable plants including lawn grass.
What will happen to the roots if too much fertilizer is applied?
That not enough fertilizer can be taken in is what happens to roots when too much fertilizer is applied.Specifically, more fertilizer can be applied than can be taken in by the roots. It is left present but inaccessible in the soil. It may damage and burn the roots.

How do you get your lawn to look really green and fertilizer was put on it but the yellow patches are getting worse what can you do to get your lawn green without adding more fertilizer on it?
You may not be able to get it at a Home depot type store, but if you go to a lesco or other fertilizer supply place apply Iron, that will promote color without growth. Just don't do it if it's excessively hot or dry. also if your having brown spots notjust lack of green, you will need to determine the cause of these spots--- is an animal peeing there? insect damage-- pine needles etc. Also a simple soil test (usually free or minimal charge if you take a sample to a fertilizer supply shop greenhouse or your Dept of ag could tell you your fertilizer needs rather than just dousing your lawn with chemicals. It may be that you applied too much fert, not too little.
