Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Triune East, Triune, TN

When your lawn starts dying in the middle of a Triune summer, your first instinct is probably to turn the irrigation up. In Middle Tennessee, that is exactly how you kill your grass. Most homeowners think they are fighting heat or drought, but they are actually feeding a fungal outbreak. High humidity and dew sitting on your grass for 12 hours every night create the perfect environment for brown patch. When you water more to fight the heat, you increase moisture on the plant and spread spores downhill through runoff.

I do not offer low-tier plans that skip fungicides. Many companies omit them to save money, then charge you double when the brown circles inevitably appear. I consider that unethical. I include fungicides in every plan because the label requires preventive application to be effective. If you wait until June or July to treat active disease, you are already behind. My approach is to start preventively in May. This keeps the disease population controllable. Because I am a UT Certified Horticulturist, I know that once you develop fungicide-resistant strains from improper use, we run out of chemistry options fast. By removing the stress of disease, your lawn has more resources to handle the actual heat and foot traffic common on these larger Triune East properties.
