Fungus prevention program – 2 to 3 services between May and September

Tips for preventing fungus:

 

• Watering: Water your lawn deeply and infrequently in the morning to allow the grass to dry. Avoid watering late in the day or at night.
• Mowing: Mow regularly, but don’t cut the grass too short. Remove no more than a third of the grass length at a time.
• Fertilizing: Use a fertilizer with high nitrogen levels to help stop rust. Avoid excess nitrogen in the fall.
• Aerating: Aerate your lawn regularly to break up thatch and allow for proper air circulation.
• Planting: Plant disease-resistant types of grass, such as tall fescue.
• Fungicide: Applying a fungicide at the first sign of a disease. We can apply a fungicide every 30-45 days from late spring until beginning of fall for full protection. Fungus or brown patch kills the grass and fescue lawns might need re – seeding in the areas affected.
• Cleaning: Clean up debris from your yard and clean tools to prevent spread.
• Soil: Test the soil and maintain soil pH between 6.5–6.7. Call us for a soil test!
• Shade: Reduce shade.
