Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Bonbrook, Brentwood, TN

Most Bonbrook residents I talk to assume their grass is dying from the Tennessee heat. When they see those brown patches, their instinct is to turn the sprinklers on more often. This is a mistake. In Brentwood, our subtropical humidity means grass sits in dew for up to 12 hours a night. Adding more water increases spore production and carries the infection downhill to your neighbors' yards.

Fungus is the straw that breaks the camel's back. By the time we hit 95 degrees, your lawn is already fighting heat, clay soil, and shade from your mature tree canopy. If it is also fighting a disease, it will lose. I see companies try to sell "low-tier" plans that exclude fungicides, only to show up in July with a high-priced emergency note when the lawn starts dying. That is not how you manage a lawn in the transition zone.

I do things differently. I do not offer tiered plans or upshells. Fungicides are built into every one of my plans because the label requires preventive application to be effective. I start my fungicide program in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. By managing the disease before it takes hold, your grass can use its energy to handle foot traffic and heat instead of fighting an infection.
