Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Clover Meadows, Franklin, TN

Most Clover Meadows homeowners call me in July when they see large patches of dead, brown grass and assume the heat or lack of water is to blame. They respond by watering more, but that is a mistake. Increasing moisture on the plant actually increases spore production and spreads the infection downhill to the rest of your lawn. In Franklin, our subtropical humidity means grass sits in dew for up to twelve hours every night. When you combine those high nighttime temperatures with constant moisture, you create the perfect environment for fungal disease.

I do not offer a low-tier plan that excludes fungicides. Many companies sell a cheaper service and then wait for your lawn to die so they can charge you double for a curative treatment. I find that unethical and, per the label, incorrect. I include fungicides in every single plan because preventive treatment is the law. I start my fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. This is critical because we only have access to about 10% of the chemistries that golf courses use. If we wait until the damage is visible and rely only on curative sprays, we risk creating fungicide-resistant strains that are impossible to control. By managing the disease preventively, I ensure your grass isn't wasting its energy fighting fungus, leaving it with more resources to handle the Franklin heat.
