Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Devonshire, Bellevue, TN

When your grass starts dying in July, your first instinct is probably to turn up the irrigation. In Middle Tennessee, that is exactly how you make the problem worse. Increasing moisture on the plant increases spore production. Furthermore, water runs downhill, carrying those spores and spreading the infection across your entire yard. Most people in the Bellevue area don't realize they are dealing with fungus until they see large, dead brown circles in their turf. By then, the damage is done.

I do things differently at Mr. Lawn Care. I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides, only to show up later and charge you double to "fix" a dying lawn. That is an unethical way to run a business. My standard of care includes fungicides in every single plan because the label says to apply them preventively. I start my fungicide applications in May, well before the heat hits. This is critical because we only have access to about 10% of the chemistries that golf courses use. If we rely on curative treatments every year, we risk creating fungicide-resistant strains that we simply cannot kill. By managing the fungus preventively, I ensure your lawn isn't wasting its energy fighting disease. This leaves it with enough resources to survive the heat, foot traffic, and the inevitable dry spells we get here in Devonshire.
