Lawn Disease Control Tips to Help Charleston Lawns
Lawn diseases can manifest themselves in many different ways. Brown spots, red thread, mildew patches, dollar spots – they come in many shapes and sizes. One thing that all lawn diseases have in common, however, is that they come from an imbalanced, unhealthy lawn. There are several sets of conditions that lawn diseases can thrive in, which is why ongoing maintenance is so important for a green, healthy lawn. Here are a few of the lawn conditions lending themselves to creating an environment where diseases thrive:
Excess moisture Too much water on a lawn, just like overwatering household plants, can be deadly. The moisture builds up and has nowhere to go, so mildew and fungus begin to form.
Dryness Just as too much water is dangerous, too little water can take its toll on a lawn. When a lawn dries out, the grass will become brittle, faded and eventually die.
Underfertilization Your lawn needs nutrients to grow and stay healthy – a lawn lacking in fertilization simply doesn’t have access to what it needs to stay healthy.
Overfertilization Overfertilizing a lawn is a quick way to kill it. Too much fertilizer will ultimately change the nutrient balance and cause a drying effect, commonly referred to as “fertilizer burn.”
Our Proprietary Fertilization Services
One of the easiest first steps in lawn disease control is to keep your lawn healthy all year long. A strong, healthy lawn has a better chance of fighting off diseases on its own. At Lawn Doctor of Charleston, we can set your lawn up for success by employing our exclusive Turf Tamer® technology for accurate fertilization. This technology allows us to provide precise, even fertilization with every treatment, resulting in a healthier lawn in both the short and long terms.
