Lawn Care During Drought Conditions
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.
Call the professionals at Lancaster Lawn & Landscaping, LLC if you notice any changes in your lawn’s appearance, especially yellowish or brown patches starting to form.

How to Treat and Prevent Crabgrass
If you haven’t already, now is the time to apply Lawn Treatment #2 to control crabgrass and other summertime weeds. Crabgrass is very unsightly and can quickly overtake your lawn. Crabgrass spreads through seeding so the best way to keep it from continuing its spread is to prevent its seeds from ever developing into sprouts. As it continues to grow, crabgrass will put out runners that take over new areas. Crabgrass stands out the most several days after mowing because it grows quicker than most grasses, creating clumps.
The best prevention for crabgrass is a thick, healthy lawn. With proper fertilization and lawn treatments, a lush, healthy lawn can be achieved.
Call Lancaster Lawn & Landscaping, LLC for more information on lawn treatments, fertilization, and how to control and prevent crabgrass and other summertime weeds.
