Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Barrington Place, Brentwood, TN

Most Barrington Place homeowners I talk to think their lawn is dying from heat or lack of water when those brown circles appear in the summer. They respond by watering more, but that actually makes the problem worse. In Brentwood, our subtropical humidity means grass sits in dew for hours every night. Adding more water increases spore production and carries the infection downhill to your neighbors' turf.

I see a common scam where companies offer low-tier plans that exclude fungicides, only to charge you double when the brown patch inevitably hits. I don't do that. My standard of care includes fungicides in every plan because the label requires preventive application to be effective. If you only use fungicides curatively after the damage is visible, you risk creating fungicide-resistant strains that we eventually won't be able to control with the limited chemistry available to us.

I start my preventive treatments in May, whereas most companies wait until June after the damage is already done. By protecting your lawn before the heat hits, your grass doesn't have to waste its energy fighting off disease. A healthy, fungus-free lawn has much more resilience to handle the heavy clay soil, foot traffic, and summer heat we face in Middle Tennessee.
