Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in STONECREEK, Pulaski, TN

When your lawn starts dying in the July heat, your first instinct is probably to turn the irrigation up. In STONECREEK, that is exactly how you make the problem worse. Most homeowners think they are dealing with drought, but they are actually fighting fungal disease. When you add more water to combat the heat, you are just providing more moisture for spores to thrive and spread. These spores don't just float in the air; they move through contact. A mower hitting an infected patch or water running downhill from one lot to another carries the disease across your entire property.

I see people trying to solve this for years without realizing they need to start fungicide applications in May. Most companies wait until June after the damage is already done. I take a different approach. I include fungicides in every single one of my plans because the label requires preventive application to be effective. If you only use fungicides as a "rescue" once the brown circles appear, you risk creating fungicide-resistant strains that are nearly impossible to kill. Because we have limited chemistry options compared to golf courses, we have to protect the population now. By removing the disease burden, your grass can actually use its resources to handle the Pulaski heat and foot traffic instead of just fighting to stay alive.
