How to Prevent Lawn Disease
At West Metro Lawn and Snow, we support a natural approach to correcting these common lawn diseases. This is because fungicide treatments kill both the bad and the good bacteria in your lawn, leaving your lawn far more susceptible for the fungal issues to reoccur in the future.
Mow Regularly (and Correctly)
Ensure that your lawn is being mowed regularly and at the appropriate height. Grass that is allowed to grow too tall (or that is cut too short) is more susceptible to lawn fungus.
Water Deeply but Infrequently
Water your lawn deeply but less frequently. This encourages deep root growth, making your grass more resilient to fighting off fungus and disease. Be sure to water in the early morning versus evening.
Fertilize Regularly
Regularly fertilizing your lawn will help to promote healthy turf growth and a lawn that is less likely to develop lawn fungus and disease throughout the Green Season.
