Lawn Disease Control: Prevent and Treat Brown Patch & Dollar Spot

Two Ways We Protect Your Lawn

Preventative Treatments

The best way to handle lawn disease is to stop it before it starts. Preventative treatments help shield your grass from common turf diseases when conditions favor them.

Curative Treatments

If disease is already active, we treat it promptly to stop the spread and help your lawn recover.

Common Lawn Diseases We Treat

Brown Patch

Brown patch typically shows up as circular brown or tan areas, often with a darker edge, during hot, humid weather. Tall fescue lawns are especially vulnerable.

Dollar Spot

Dollar spot causes small, straw-colored spots about the size of a silver dollar that can merge into larger damaged areas if left alone.

Not sure what you're looking at? That's normal. Many lawn problems look alike, so a professional diagnosis matters before treating.

Why Lawn Disease Is on the Rise

Changing weather patterns can encourage lawn diseases: long humid stretches, warm nights, and heavy rain followed by heat. Compacted clay soil that stays wet also doesn't help. That's why a proactive plan beats waiting until damage appears.

Habits That Help

• Water early in the morning so grass dries during the day
• Avoid watering in the evening
• Relieve compaction with core aeration

Part of a Healthy-Lawn Plan

A well-fed lawn is better at resisting disease. Pair disease control with our 8-step Turf Care Program. If disease has thinned out your fescue, fall overseeding can help it fill back in.
