Fungus & disease

Fungicide applications can be vital for the control of aggressive fungi and diseases found in lawns. These fungi may be particularly damaging to Zoysia and Fescue lawns, and a few affect Bermuda. Several of these diseases cause permanent damage to the lawn. There is a misconception that you can wait until your lawn displays symptoms and then use household lawn sprays, but by the time you see these symptoms, the disease is already in its advanced stages and needs treatment.

These lawn diseases behave surprisingly like the mold and mildew in your home shower. If you have ever been responsible for maintaining your shower, you know that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By proactively treating your shower with cleaning products designed to reduce mold and mildew, you can keep these issues from getting out of control. Likewise, by proactively treating your lawn with professional-grade lawn sprays and other appropriate applications, you can keep fungus and disease from getting out of control.
