Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Arden Woods, Brentwood, TN

Most Arden Woods homeowners think their lawn is dying from heat or lack of water when those brown patches appear in July. When that happens, the natural instinct is to turn the sprinklers up. In Brentwood, that is exactly how you kill your lawn. Increasing moisture increases spore production and allows water to carry the infection downhill to the rest of your turf. Because many of our local properties have mature tree canopies and legacy irrigation, the humidity stays trapped near the soil. This creates a perfect breeding ground for brown patch.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides, because in Middle Tennessee, it is not a matter of if you will get fungus, but when. Many companies wait until your lawn is already dying to suggest an expensive curative treatment. I take a different approach. I start preventive fungicide applications in May, well before the summer heat hits. By treating preventively, as the label directs, we keep the disease population manageable. This prevents the development of fungicide-resistant strains that are nearly impossible to kill once they take hold. When your grass isn't wasting all its energy fighting off a fungal infection, it has more resources to handle the actual heat and foot traffic of a Tennessee summer.
