Disease Control FAQs — Athens, GA
What are the signs of lawn disease?
Look for circular brown patches, yellow/orange rust, gray powdery coatings on blades, or slimy areas after rain. If you see these, call us right away.
How quickly does fungicide work?
Preventative fungicide blocks infection. Curative fungicide begins slowing active disease in 5–10 days, with full recovery visible in 2–4 weeks.
What causes brown patch in Georgia?
Brown patch is caused by the Rhizoctonia fungus, which thrives when nighttime temps stay above 70°F and humidity is high — common in Georgia summers.
Do I need disease control every year?
If your lawn has had disease issues before, preventative treatments are highly recommended. High-risk lawns benefit from spring and fall applications.
Can lawn disease spread?
Fungal spores can spread via water, wind, and foot traffic. Treating early and promptly is important to contain the spread.
