Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Baker Springs, Spring Hill, TN

When your fescue starts dying in large brown circles, your instinct is probably to water more. In Baker Springs, that is the worst thing you can do. Increasing moisture increases spore production and spreads the infection downhill through your yard. Most of the lawns in this neighborhood are already fighting heat stress from the gravel mixed into the soil by builders. That heat is a stress factor, but fungal disease is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Once a plant is fighting fungus, it has no resources left to handle a dry spell or a heavy mowing.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides. Many companies wait until they see the damage, leave a note on your door, and then try to charge you double to fix it. I consider that unethical. The label for these products directs us to apply them preventively. I start my fungicide applications in May, a full month before most companies even consider it. This prevents the buildup of resistant strains that eventually become impossible to kill. Because we have limited chemistry available to ornamental growers, we have to maintain a controllable disease population. My approach is simple. Fungicides are included in every plan I provide because that is the only way to actually protect your investment in this climate.
