Is The Fairy Ring Disease Keeping You From Having the Lawn You Want?
Hire the Lawn Doctor of West Little Rock and find a permanent solution to these problems. Fairy ring disease is caused due to various types of fungi. Though the fungi don’t attack the grass directly, it colonizes organic matter in the soil leading to the formation of hydrophobic or dry zones. This prevents turf from developing a deep healthy root system, which creates circular or crescent-shaped areas of thin, unhealthy turf on your lawn.
The best way of dealing with this problem is to completely remove the soil to as much as 18” and replacing the area with clean soil and new sod. Our staff members use fungicides, wetting agents, and soil conditioners designed to mask the symptoms by promoting better growing conditions for the turf.
