Lawn fungus
If you suspect your lawn has a fungus, treatment shouldn’t be a question. A fungus can destroy your beautiful lawn!
All healthy lawns contain millions of fungi spores at all times. Though most fungi will never cause problems, we never know when one will to decide to show off.
A fungus can be easily treated by our trained lawn technicians. You just need to watch for it and call us as soon as you see the signs.
Watch for these signs:
These are the types of fungus that grow in our area. Look for the type of grass growing in your lawn to see what is most common.
- Dollar Spot/Bermuda grass: this fungus causes spots of brown or straw-colored that start as small as a grapefruit. Beware, they can grow to take over your whole yard.
- Rust/Zoysia grass: To check for rust fungus, take a white tissue and rub a few grass blades. If an orange color comes off on the tissue, you have a rust problem.
- Gray Leaf Spot/St. Augustine grass: This fungus leaves large gray spots on your grass blades that grow larger as the infestation gets worse.
Fungus causes:
- Fungi can become a problem when we have had too much rain.
- Fungi can become a problem when we haven’t had enough rain.
- Fungi can appear when we mow our lawns too low.
- Fungi can appear when we have a dull mower blade.
PRO TIP: if you have a really large lawn you should sharpen your mower blades a second time mid season!
