Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Vineyard Valley, College Grove, TN

In Vineyard Valley, many of your neighbors deal with soil that is heavy with construction gravel. This gravel holds heat and prevents deep rooting, which puts your fescue under massive stress. When the summer heat hits College Grove, that stress becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back. Most homeowners think they need to water more to combat the heat, but increasing moisture on the plant actually spikes spore production and spreads the infection. What looks like drought is almost always fungal disease.

I do not offer low-tier plans that exclude fungicides. Many companies skip them to save money, only to show up when your lawn is already dying and demand double the price for a curative fix. I find that unethical. Because I am a UT Certified Horticulturist, I follow the law, which is the product label. The label requires preventive application to maintain a controllable disease population. I start my fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. By treating preventively, your grass doesn't have to waste its limited resources fighting fungus. This leaves it with the energy it needs to survive the heat, foot traffic, and irrigation gaps. I include fungicides in every single plan I run because in Middle Tennessee, it is not a matter of if you will get fungus, but when.
