Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Rolling Acres, Fairview, TN

When your lawn starts dying in the middle of a Fairview summer, your first instinct is probably to water more. That is a mistake. In Middle Tennessee, our high humidity means grass sits in dew for up to 12 hours a night. Adding more water increases moisture on the plant, which spikes spore production and spreads the infection downhill. What looks like drought is actually fungal disease, and it is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Between the heat, foot traffic, and heavy clay soils in Rolling Acres, a lawn fighting fungus has no resources left to handle anything else.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides. Many companies sell a cheap service and then hit you with a massive bill once they see brown patch circles in your yard. I consider that unethical. The label is the law, and the label directs us to use fungicides preventively. I start my preventive applications in May, long before the damage begins in June or July. This is the only way to prevent fungicide-resistant strains from developing. Because ornamental operators only have access to a small fraction of the chemistries used on golf courses, we have to manage these populations correctly. My approach includes fungicides in every single plan because it is the only way to ensure your lawn survives the summer.
