Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Redwing Farms, Franklin, TN

Most Redwing Farms residents assume their grass is dying because of the Franklin heat, so they respond by watering more. This is a mistake. In our Middle Tennessee humidity, extra water increases moisture on the plant, which spikes spore production and spreads the infection downhill. By the time you see those large brown circles, the fungal disease has already taken hold.

I see many companies in Franklin offering low-tier plans that skip fungicides entirely. They wait for your lawn to die, then show up with a note saying you need an expensive emergency treatment. I do not play that game. At Mr. Lawn Care, there is no lower tier. Fungicides are included in every single plan because it is not a matter of if you will get fungus, but when.

The label is the law, and the label requires preventive application to be effective. If we only use fungicides to treat active outbreaks, we risk creating fungicide-resistant strains. Once that happens, the disease becomes nearly impossible to control with the limited chemistry available to us. I start my preventive fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. By protecting your grass before the heat hits, I ensure your lawn has the resources to handle foot traffic and summer stress without breaking.
