Lawn Fungicide & Disease Control in Metro Atlanta
Circular brown patches, orange rings in zoysia or bleached spots the size of a coin are usually lawn disease, not a lack of fertilizer. Georgia heat and humidity are perfect for turf fungus. Fungicide treatments that stop and prevent damaging turf diseases are included in Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program.
Included in Healthy Lawn Elite (12 visits a year). It comes with the program and is not sold separately.
Brown patch in fescue
Brown patch is the most common disease we see in tall fescue. It shows up as circular brown areas in hot, humid weather, especially when grass stays wet overnight or gets heavy summer nitrogen.
Large patch in zoysia and Bermuda
Large patch hits warm-season grasses, especially zoysia, as they go into dormancy in fall and come out of it in spring. Look for big rings with orange or bronze edges. Thick thatch and late-day watering make it worse.
Dollar spot and other diseases
Dollar spot leaves small, bleached spots about the size of a silver dollar, often on underfed lawns. We look at the pattern, the grass and the weather before we decide what your lawn needs.
How we handle lawn disease
Our fungicide treatments stop and prevent damaging turf diseases. On your Healthy Lawn Elite visits we apply fungicide as needed, by the label, and pair it with the right feeding and watering advice so the disease is less likely to come back.
Watering tips that help
Water early in the morning, not in the evening, so the grass dries during the day. Water deeply and less often. If you have irrigation, ask us to look at the schedule when we visit.
Part of a complete program
Fungicide treatments come with everything else in Healthy Lawn Elite: complete weed control, all needed pre-emergent applications to control weeds year round, professional fertilization, fire ant control, insecticide treatments, soil enhancers, unlimited service calls and the Masterpiece Guarantee.
Grass types we treat
Every lawn starts with a soil test and a plan for its grass type.

Fungicide & Disease Control questions
Is fungicide included in my program?
Fungicide treatments are included in Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program. They are not sold as a separate add-on.
What causes brown patches in my lawn?
In summer fescue, it is often brown patch disease. In zoysia in spring or fall, it is often large patch. Dry spots, grubs and dog spots can look similar, so we check before we treat.
Does watering at night cause lawn disease?
It can. Grass that stays wet overnight in warm, humid weather is a perfect home for fungus. Water early in the morning instead.
Will the brown areas grow back?
Usually, once the disease is under control and the weather changes. Bermuda and zoysia fill back in while they are growing. Thin fescue may need fall aeration and overseeding.
