Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Eagleville, TN

I see this happen every year across Middle Tennessee, from the estates near the Eagleville School to the properties scattered out along Highway 41A. Homeowners deal with the same cycle. A lawn starts looking tired as the thermometer climbs, and suddenly, patches of dead grass spread across the yard. Most people think their grass is thirsty, so they turn on the irrigation or drag a hose out to soak the ground. That is the exact moment they lose the battle. If you have fungal disease, watering creates a breeding ground for spores. It turns your lawn into a wet, humid environment where the fungus thrives and spreads by contact from one plant to the next. By the time you notice the damage, the disease has often been building for weeks. Many companies in our area offer a cheap, low-tier lawn plan that leaves out fungicides entirely. They know it is not a matter of if, but when, you will deal with a major fungal outbreak in this climate. When the brown patch takes over, they simply put a note on your door telling you that you need to pay double for an emergency curative treatment to save the grass. I do not operate that way. I am a UT Certified Horticulturist, and I know that the label is the law. The law dictates that we treat diseases preventively to keep your lawn healthy and stop resistant strains from developing. That is why I include fungicide protection in every single plan I offer. There is no lower tier, and there are no surprise fees when the summer heat hits. When a grass plant has to spend all its energy fighting off fungal disease, it has nothing left for anything else. By removing that stressor, your lawn can handle the high temperatures and the inevitable foot traffic during your summer cookouts. A plant that is not sick is naturally more drought tolerant and can survive the common mistakes like mowing too short. I start these treatments in May because that is the only way to get ahead of the problem. If you wait until the damage is already visible in June or July, you are already playing catch-up. I want to help you stop the constant cycle of fighting for your lawn’s life every single summer.
