Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in CHERRY GROVE, Thompson's Station, TN

When your grass starts dying in the heat of summer, your first instinct is probably to turn the irrigation on higher. In Cherry Grove, that is exactly what makes the problem worse. Most homeowners think they are fighting drought, but they are actually feeding a fungal disease. When you add more water to combat the heat, you increase moisture on the plant and create the perfect environment for spores to multiply. In our humid Middle Tennessee climate, grass often sits in dew for twelve hours every night. That constant moisture, combined with nighttime temperatures above 75 degrees, is a breeding ground for brown patch.

I see a lot of new construction in this area where gravel was mixed into the soil during building. That gravel creates shallow, hot soil that stresses your fescue. When a fungal disease hits a lawn already stressed by heat or gravel, it is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Most companies wait until they see big brown circles in your yard to suggest a treatment, often charging double for a curative application. I do not believe in that approach. My standard of care includes fungicides in every plan starting in May. By applying preventively before the damage starts, we keep the disease population controllable and ensure your lawn has the resources to handle the Thompson's Station summer.
