Lawn Disease: Prevent Lawn Damage
Every lawn in Georgia, whether new or established, is susceptible to a variety of lawn diseases. Promoting healthy growth is the best way to prevent a severe disease outbreak. Most common lawn diseases can be avoided by optimizing maintenance practices to avoid stressed grass, which is much more susceptible to disease than healthy grass. Even if a disease causing pathogen is present, infection will not occur unless the environmental conditions are conducive to disease development. Diseases can cause major damage to a lawn if not properly treated. Here is a list of common diseases in our area:
• Brown Patch
• Dollar Spot
• Grey Leaf Spot
• Pythium Blight
• Spring Dead Spot
• Rust
• Fairy Ring
• Zoysia Patch
• Black Algae
Our programs are designed to help minimize disease activity in warm and cool season grasses by promoting healthy growth and proper root development. However, If environmental conditions become favorable for disease, fungicide applications may be necessary to control them. We offer a wide range of fungicide programs specifically designed to control each individual disease. Contact us today for more details.
