Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Barclay Place, Franklin, TN

Most Barclay Place homeowners call me when they see those brown circles in mid-summer and assume they need to water more to fight the drought. That is the exact mistake that kills your lawn. Adding more water increases moisture on the plant, which triggers more spore production and carries the infection downhill to your neighbors' turf. By the time you see the damage in July, the fungus has already won.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides, because in Franklin, fungal disease is not a possibility; it is a certainty. Many companies will wait for your lawn to die and then try to charge you double for a "rescue" treatment. I take a different approach. My standard of care includes fungicides in every plan because the label directs us to treat preventively. I start my fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it.

As a UT Certified Horticulturist, I know we only have access to about 10% of the chemistry used on golf courses. This makes it critical to keep disease populations under control before they develop resistance. When your grass is busy fighting off fungus, it has no energy left to handle the Franklin heat or heavy foot traffic. By managing the disease preventively, your lawn stays strong enough to handle the stress of a typical Middle Tennessee summer.
