Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Falls Grove, College Grove, TN

Most Falls Grove homeowners see brown spots in July and assume it is drought, so they turn the irrigation up. In Middle Tennessee, that is a mistake. Increased moisture on the grass blades actually fuels spore production and spreads the infection downhill through your yard. What you are actually seeing is fungal disease, specifically brown patch. Because many of the estate lots in College Grove sit on soil mixed with construction gravel, the ground gets incredibly hot. That heat stresses the fescue, and fungus is almost always the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides. Many companies exclude them to save money, knowing disease is inevitable in our humid climate, only to charge you double for a "rescue" treatment once your lawn starts dying. I find that unethical. My approach is different. I include fungicides in every single plan because the label directs preventive use. I start applications in May, a full month before most providers even consider it. By treating preventively, your grass doesn't have to waste its energy fighting an infection. This leaves the plant with more resources to handle the high temperatures and foot traffic typical of our area. If we wait until you see the damage, we are already behind the curve.
