Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Burkitt Springs, Nolensville, TN

Most Burkitt Springs homeowners see dead grass in July and react by turning their irrigation systems up. This is the worst thing you can do. Fungus thrives on moisture; watering more increases spore production and carries those spores downhill to infect your healthy grass. In our Nolensville heat, a lawn facing high soil temperatures from construction gravel or heavy clay is already stressed. Fungal disease is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Once the fungus takes hold, your grass stops using its energy to grow roots and starts using every resource just to fight the infection.

I do not offer "low-tier" plans that exclude fungicides, because that is a setup for failure. Many companies wait until they see damage to suggest a high-priced curative treatment. That is unethical and ignores what the EPA label actually directs. I start my preventive fungicide applications in May, a full month before the damage typically begins. By treating preventively, we keep the disease population controllable. If we only use curative treatments after the brown patches appear, we risk creating fungicide-resistant strains. Once those resistant strains take over, there are almost no backup chemistries left to save your lawn. I include fungicides in every plan I provide to ensure your turf is resilient enough to handle the Middle Tennessee summer.
