There is a fungus among us....be on the lookout.

There are quite a few fungal diseases that can impact your lawn and we want to ensure that you are armed to combat anything that might impact your lawn. The fungal diseases are usually pretty specialized, targeting specific lawn types, at certain times of the year and under certain conditions. Before jumping in and trying to treat your lawn, remember the first step is to identify the fungus itself so that you can treat effectively. All Fungicides aren't the same and some of the diseases can be easily solved by making small changes to your current lawn care plan. Knowing your grass type and recent weather conditions can make it easier to narrow down, but you may need help in figuring out exactly what’s going on. Your local cooperative extension center is your best resource for determining which diseases are most common in your area, or you can bring a small baggie of the infected grass to our Garden Center for help. We also have a full line of products to help with these summertime issues, one of our favorites being F-Stop by Fertilome.
