Protect Your Lawn from Harmful Diseases
A thriving lawn is the pride of any property, but diseases can threaten its health and beauty. Lawn diseases like brown patch, dollar spot, and rust are more than just an eyesore—they can weaken your grass, making it susceptible to pests and other stressors. At America's Best Lawncare, we specialize in identifying, treating, and preventing lawn diseases, so your yard stays lush, green, and resilient.
No two lawns are the same, and neither are their needs. Our lawn disease control services begin with a thorough evaluation of your yard to diagnose the issue and understand its underlying causes. From there, we create a custom treatment plan using the latest products and techniques to target the disease and restore your lawn's health.
Our team of experts not only treats existing diseases but also focuses on prevention. By improving soil health, optimizing watering schedules, and using proper mowing practices, we ensure your lawn stays strong and disease-resistant year-round.
Common Lawn Diseases We Treat
Brown Patch
Caused by a fungal infection, this disease creates unsightly brown areas in your lawn, particularly in hot and humid conditions.
Dollar Spot
Small, silver-dollar-sized spots that spread and merge, leaving your grass weakened and thin.
Red Thread
Affects grass blades with red or pink thread-like structures, especially in cooler, damp weather.
Grey Leaf Spot
Grey Leaf Spot is a fungal disease that causes oval grayish lesions with dark margins on grass leaves, leading to thinning and weakened turf.
Take-All Root Rot
Take-All Root Rot is a soil-borne fungal disease that attacks grass roots, causing yellowing, stunted growth, and eventual dieback of the turf.
Comprehensive Disease Control Treatments for a Healthy Lawn
-
Gray Leaf Spot Disease Treatment
Gray leaf spots initially appear as small round spots that are tan or brown. The fungus that causes gray leaf spot disease attacks St. Augustine grass and wreak havoc throughout the lawn. We treat this condition through timely fungicide applications. Our lawn care experts will observe closely and ensure your lawn recovers quickly, too.
-
Dollar Spot Disease Treatment
Excessive thatch and moisture buildup make lawns more vulnerable to dollar spot disease. It usually affects Bermuda grass, fescue, and zoysia grass types. Brown spots that grow bigger over time are a sign of further invasion of your lawn. To treat an ailing property, our lawn disease professionals implement core aeration so that water can seep into the soil and control thatch accumulation. We also apply organic compost topdressing to provide nutrition, decompose thatch, and fight off fungi that cause dollar spot disease.
-
Red Thread Disease Treatment
Red thread lawn disease is characterized by dying patches with red or pink fibers. This turf disease is caused by inadequate levels of nitrogen in the soil and external stressors. It usually attacks cool-season grasses such as red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and bentgrass. To stop the fungus from growing, our lawn care experts apply superior quality fertilizers to improve the nitrogen levels in the soil.
-
Rust Disease Treatment
Rusty grass fungus causes an unsightly reddish-brown tinge across patches of grass. The devastation they cause is rapid, ultimately destroying your lawn in mere weeks. For effective treatment, we apply nitrogen-rich fertilizers to nourish the soil and stop the fungus from proliferating. We also recommend frequent mowing to remove the rust spores to prevent further proliferation.
-
Brown Patch Disease Treatment
This lawn disease is caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia, typically prevalent during hot and humid months. It usually attacks lawn grasses and causes irregular, brown patches that can destroy your lawn when left untreated. Our lawn care experts will apply moderate amounts of nitrogenous fertilizer to control its spread in severe cases. As an effective prevention technique, we employ strategic fungicide application.
