Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Jacobs Cove, Lynnville, TN

Most homeowners in Lynnville think their lawn is dying from heat or drought when they see large brown patches appearing in the summer. They respond by watering more, but that actually makes the problem worse. Extra moisture increases spore production and carries the infection downhill to the rest of your grass. By the time you notice the damage, the fungus is already winning.

As a UT Certified Horticulturist, I don't wait for the damage to happen. I start preventive fungicide applications in May, whereas most companies wait until June when the grass is already turning brown. This is critical because I use the preventive approach required by the label. If you only use fungicides to treat an active infection, you risk creating fungicide-resistant strains. Because ornamental operators have access to a very limited range of chemistries compared to golf courses, we cannot afford to lose our ability to control these diseases.

I refuse to offer "low-tier" plans that exclude fungicides just to save a few dollars. In our climate, fungus isn't a possibility; it is a certainty. I include fungicides in every plan I provide. When your lawn isn't wasting its energy fighting off disease, it has more resources to handle the actual heat and foot traffic that comes with a Tennessee summer.
