Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Chunns Valley, Spring Hill, TN

In Chunns Valley, I see homeowners making the same mistake every summer. When the grass starts turning brown, they assume it is drought stress and turn the sprinklers on even more. This is the worst thing you can do. In Spring Hill, our high humidity means grass sits in dew for hours every night. Adding more water increases moisture on the plant, which triggers massive spore production. Because many of these fungal spores spread by contact or by water running downhill, your irrigation is actually spreading the infection from one part of your yard to the next.

The straw that breaks the camel's back in July is almost always fungal disease. Your lawn is already fighting heat from the gravel in the soil and mechanical stress from mowing. If it is also fighting a fungus, it runs out of resources and dies. I don't offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides because that is an unethical way to do business. In Middle Tennessee, fungus isn't an "if," it is a "when." I include fungicides in every single one of my plans and start them in May to get ahead of the cycle. By preventing the disease before it starts, I allow your grass to use its energy to survive the heat instead of fighting a losing battle against infection.
