Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Bellevue Station, Bellevue, TN

Most Bellevue Station homeowners see dead grass in July and assume the heat or a dry spell is to blame. They respond by turning up the irrigation, but that is a mistake. Increasing moisture on the plant actually increases spore production and spreads the infection. In our Middle Tennessee climate, grass sits in dew for up to 12 hours a night. When you combine that humidity with nighttime temperatures above 75 degrees, you have the perfect environment for fungus. Spores spread by contact when a mower hits an infected patch or when water carries them downhill into healthy areas.

I do not offer "low-tier" plans that exclude fungicides. Many companies skip them to save money, only to show up when your lawn is dying and charge you double for a curative treatment. I consider that unethical. Because the label requires preventive application to be effective, I include fungicides in every single one of my plans. I start my preventive applications in May, whereas most companies wait until June after the damage is already done. By managing the fungus before it takes hold, your lawn can use its resources to handle summer heat, foot traffic, and mowing stress instead of fighting a losing battle against disease. I am a UT Certified Horticulturist, and I follow the label exactly to ensure we do not create fungicide-resistant strains that we can no longer control.
