Diagnosis and treatment of brown patch, dollar spot, fungus and other lawn diseases that thrive in Tennessee humidity.
Warm nights and humid air are perfect for lawn disease. Brown patch spreads in tall fescue during hot, wet stretches of summer, dollar spot leaves small straw-colored circles and fungus can move across a yard after a stormy week. In Nashville, many lawns see at least one outbreak a year. Disease is not always the owner’s fault, but the way you water, mow and fertilize can make it better or worse.
We start by identifying the disease, because symptoms can look like drought or insect damage. We examine the pattern of damage, the grass blades and the conditions in the yard. Treatments may include fungicide applications, adjusted watering, improved airflow and changes to mowing and fertilizing. We also recommend longer-term fixes such as aeration, better drainage and overseeding with disease-resistant varieties. You receive a plain explanation of what we found and what we recommend. We also look at mowing height, irrigation timing, shade from trees and thatch, since these small factors often decide whether a lawn shrugs off a humid week or suffers a full outbreak. Where trees block airflow, careful thinning can make a lasting difference.
Brown patch, dollar spot and other issues each have different treatments.
Fungicide timing matters for protection and for stopping spread.
Watering, mowing and airflow changes reduce future outbreaks.
Overseeding with improved varieties helps lawns resist disease.
