Lawn Disease & Fungus Control in Camelot, Columbia, TN

If your lawn in Camelot looks bad by mid-July, you're not alone. Many homeowners here see brown patches and assume it's just the Columbia heat or that they're not watering enough. So they turn up their irrigation, which is often the worst thing you can do. That added moisture fuels the two diseases you will get in this neighborhood: brown patch and dollar spot. In our climate, it's not a matter of if, but when. Early on, you might see bullseye patterns or small dollar-sized spots. After a week or two, those patches merge into large brown areas that look exactly like drought stress. That's when the extra watering makes the fungus spread faster downhill and from plant to plant. My program starts in May, preventively, because by the time you see it in June, the damage is already underway. I don't offer a lower-tier plan without fungicides like some companies. That's a setup. They know you'll get disease, then charge you double for an emergency curative treatment. My one standard of care for Camelot includes preventative fungicides in every plan. It's how the labels direct us to apply them, and it's the only way to prevent resistant strains when we have so few chemistries legally available to us. This approach frees your tall fescue from fighting disease all summer, so it can better handle foot traffic, mowing stress, and even a missed week of watering. That's critical with Columbia's upcoming water rate increases. Healthy grass is resilient grass, and that starts with stopping the problem before you see it on your Camelot property.
