Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Criddle Meadows, Columbia, TN

Most homeowners in Criddle Meadows assume a dying lawn is just a result of summer heat or drought. When the grass turns brown, the instinct is to turn the sprinklers on even more. In Middle Tennessee, that is a mistake. Increasing moisture on the plant actually increases spore production and helps fungal diseases spread. Because many of our lawns here have irrigation, we create the perfect environment for brown patch to thrive.

Fungal disease doesn't just stay in one spot. It spreads by contact when wind moves infected blades against healthy ones, or when a mower passes over a patch and carries spores to the rest of your yard. Water also carries these spores downhill, which is a major issue given our local topography.

I do things differently than most companies in Maury County. Many providers offer low-tier plans that exclude fungicides, only to show up when your lawn is already dying and demand double the price to fix it. I consider that unethical. I don't offer tiers. Fungicides are included in every single one of my plans because the label says to apply them preventively. I start my fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. By protecting your grass before the disease takes hold, your lawn has more resources to handle heat, foot traffic, and the upcoming water rate increases we are seeing in Columbia.
