Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Wakefield, Spring Hill, TN

In Wakefield, many of our lawns face extreme stress from the gravel mixed into the soil during construction. This gravel heats up your ground and makes it difficult for fescue to establish deep roots. When the Tennessee humidity hits in June and July, your lawn is already struggling. Most homeowners see brown patches and respond by watering more. This is a mistake. Increasing moisture increases spore production and allows water to carry the infection downhill to your healthy grass. By the time you see the damage, the fungus is already winning.

I do not believe in "tiered" plans where fungicides are an optional add-on. Many companies will wait until your lawn is dying to suggest a high-priced curative treatment, but that is not how you manage disease in Middle Tennessee. I include fungicides in every single one of my plans. As a UT Certified Horticulturist, I follow the label law, which directs us to apply treatments preventively. I start my fungicide applications in May, well before the damage begins. This keeps the disease population controllable. If we wait until the heat of summer to react, we risk creating fungicide-resistant strains that are nearly impossible to kill. My goal is to remove the disease from the equation so your grass can use its energy to survive the heat and foot traffic instead of fighting a losing battle against fungus.
