Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Pulaski, TN

When the temperature hits 95 degrees in Pulaski, your lawn is already under stress from the heat and heavy clay soil. You might notice brown circles appearing and assume you just need to water more. That is the biggest mistake you can make. Adding more water increases moisture on the plant, which increases spore production and spreads the infection downhill across your yard. By the time you see the damage, the fungus has already taken hold.

I do not believe in the "low-tier" plan scam where companies omit fungicides and then charge you double to fix the brown patch once it appears. In Middle Tennessee, fungus is not an "if," it is a "when." I include fungicides in every single plan I provide. As a UT Certified Horticulturist, I follow the label law, which directs us to apply treatments preventively. Most companies wait until June to act, but I start in May to stay ahead of the spore cycle.

A healthy lawn uses its energy to grow. A lawn fighting fungus is wasting all its resources just trying to survive. By managing the disease preventively, your grass will actually handle the Pulaski summer better. It will be more resilient against foot traffic and can even handle a missed irrigation cycle because it isn't busy fighting an infection.
