Keep Your Lawn Free Of Disease

LAWN DISEASE CONTROL

Patches of brown or yellow grass popping up on your lawn mid-summer is one of the most discouraging things, especially when you’ve done everything you can to nourish your turf. Diseases like this often come in the summer heat, when high humidity creates optimal conditions for fungal disease to thrive. Your grass is already stressed, so when Brown Patch rears its head, turf doesn’t usually recover until you can reseed in the fall. Contact the technicians at Limelight Lawns to make sure your lawn is properly handled so it can endure any potential grass disease throughout the year.

What Is Brown Patch?

Brown Patch disease is a fungal infection that targets persistently wet grasses. The onset of spring and early summer creates an ideal environment for this fungus to flourish, primarily due to frequent rainfall, elevated humidity, and soaring temperatures. This disease is the most prevalent in the Southeastern region and typically manifests as irregular patches of thinning, discolored grass. Often, the center of these affected areas may recover, leaving behind unsightly ring-shaped brown spots in your lawn that are far from the stunning landscape you envisioned. Under favorable conditions, this fungus can rapidly spread, potentially devastating extensive areas of your grass.

Because this fungus thrives in damp conditions, some simple steps you can take to protect your lawn include:

You are promoting proper runoff and drainage for your lawn during heavy rainfall to prevent water accumulation.
Regularly aerating your lawn helps relieve soil compaction, facilitating improved water absorption deep into the earth.
Limit the use of nitrogen fertilizer on your lawn since Brown Patch prefers grasses that grow quickly.
Only use slow-release fertilizers.
Don’t overwater or underwater.
Water early in the morning so grass leaves have time to dry throughout the day.
Mow your grass to the optimal height for your grass species (too short and your turf is weakened, but too long and the blades don’t dry).
Test your soil to verify it maintains an appropriate pH level, along with sufficient calcium and potassium levels.

When you partner with us for lawn disease control on your home’s landscape, our Limelight technicians will be able to give you personalized advice for your lawn, as well as perform much of this prevention for you.
