Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Port Royal Estates, Spring Hill, TN

Most Port Royal Estates residents I talk to assume their grass is dying from drought, so they respond by watering more. In Middle Tennessee, that is the worst thing you can do. When you increase moisture on the plant, you are actually fueling fungal spore production. Those spores spread through contact when your mower hits an infected patch or when water carries them downhill into your healthy grass.

By the time you see those large brown circles in July, the disease has already taken hold. I see homeowners in Spring Hill trying to fix this for years, but they are always a month too late. My approach is different because I start preventative fungicide applications in May. The label for these products directs us to apply them preventively to maintain a controllable disease population. If you only use fungicides as a "rescue" cure after the damage is done, you risk creating fungicide-resistant strains. Because we only have access to a small fraction of the chemistries available to golf courses, we cannot afford to lose our ability to control these diseases. I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides. I include them in every single plan because it is the only way to ensure your lawn has the resources to survive the heat and foot traffic of a Spring Hill summer.
