Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes lush greenery, sunny days, and afternoon showers. But for many of us, it also means dealing with stubborn fungus in our yards. Don't fret, though – with a few simple lawn care tips and the help of our experts, you can keep your yard looking beautiful all summer long without breaking a sweat.

Superior Spray gets many calls asking the question: “Why does my lawn have brown patches?” When we go out to investigate, the problem is usually brown patch fungus. Brown patch fungus is a common lawn disease caused by Rhizoctonia, a fungus. Under the microscope, this fungus looks like a tangled web or a series of irregular threads, earning it the nickname "cobweb fungus." This fungus thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it a common sight during the hot summer months. By identifying these signs early on, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your lawn's health and vitality against this troublesome fungus.

Signs you might have fungus in your lawn:

·     Brown patches in your lawn- these patches usually start small but can quickly spread and merge       

together, creating large areas of discolored grass.

·     Grass blades that look water-soaked or slimy

·     Musty odor coming from your yard.

Here’s what you can do to prevent fungus:

1.       Make sure you are mowing your lawn regularly.

2.       Don’t over water or over-fertilize your grass too much as this can cause fungus to form.

3.       Keep your yard clean of leaves and debris so sunlight and oxygen can get to your grass.

4.       Call Superior Spray Service to have one of our trained experts apply a fungicide.

These fungicides work by creating a protective barrier that stops the fungus from spreading and causing damage to your grass. By incorporating Superior Spray Services lawn spraying into your lawn care routine, you can give your grass an extra layer of defense against pesky lawn diseases like brown patch fungus.
