Treating Fungal Lawn Diseases

Fungal lawn diseases can kill your lawn and turn your landscape into an eyesore, so you should learn how to combat them quickly and efficiently.  Fungus can grow anywhere, but poor lawn care can allow it to grow rapidly.

Fungi and spores form naturally in your yard, but certain circumstances can allow them to spread at a rapid pace, leading to lawn fungal diseases that are hard to deal with.  Cutting your lawn to a low height can allow fungi to grow at a faster rate than normal. Other things such as applying too much fertilizer or over-watering your lawn can have the same effect.

Lawn fungus has many appearances, most commonly in the form of ring-shaped patches in the grass that are either yellow or brown. This type of is most common during the summer, when the humidity levels are at their highest.  If you spot any of these strange marks, call a landscaper immediately to check your yard.  Some lawn diseases can be very problematic, even detrimental to your lawn’s overall health and appearance, so calling a professional landscaper would be the best course of action.
