Lawn Disease Prevention

Several types of lawn diseases are common in the greater Atlanta area. Patches of brown or unhealthy looking grass can be a sign of a lawn disease such as lawn fungus. TurfPride Lawncare in Kennesaw, GA offers lawn disease prevention and diagnosis services. While it is ideal to treat your lawn to prevent disease, we also provide treatments for lawns that are already afflicted.

Fescue Lawn Diseases

If You Have a Fescue Lawn…The worst offender is Brown Patch which appears  as increasingly large sizes of dead grass which will continue unchecked until your lawn is completely dead. The cause is a fungus which thrives in warm temperatures and lots of moisture.The best course of action is to apply a preventative fungicide beginning in May.

If the disease has already appeared, curative lawn treatment services are available. However, they:

  • Are more expensive
  • Require a greater number of applications
  • Halt the spread of disease but can’t change the appearance of the dead areas until the following season

Bermuda/Zoysia Lawn Diseases

If You Have Zoysia or Bermuda Lawn…

The most common diseases are Large Patch, Dollar Spot, and Spring Dead Spot. Large Patch is unsightly, but not fatal.  This fungus thrives with cool nights, moisture and warm days (aka Spring or Fall  in Atlanta). Dollar Spot is also unsightly, but it is fatal for Zoysia lawns.   This fungus thrives in moisture and warm temperatures in the summer months.

"Amazing service! Always call prior to the day they are coming as we have locked gate and pets. Show up timely. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for honest and reliable lawn care!"

 

"This company is great and so easy to work with. Turn up at time specified, polite and great value for money."

 

"We used a well-known lawn service company and after a few years our grass developed a ‘mossy carpet.’ They offered to remove it but it was very expensive and I was confused why I would be charged if I was already paying them each month to keep my grass healthy. I connected with TurfPride and after one year of basic service the moss is gone and my grass is healthy once again. These guys get it and they don’t take you to the bank. Call them."

 

"They turned my lawn around! My lawn went from worst to first in my neighborhood! I just could not keep up with the treatments on my own. They tread on time and they address issues if they arise. I highly recommend this company."
