Utah Lawn Disease

Maintaining a healthy, vigorously growing lawn is the best way to prevent a severe disease outbreak. Many common lawn diseases in Utah can be avoided altogether by providing your lawn with optimal amounts of water, fertilizer, the right mowing regime, and an aerated, well-drained soil.

The importance of proper watering, mowing height, aeration, drainage, and fertilization can’t be stressed enough and will give your lawn an advantage over harmful disease causing micro-organisms. But there are times when conditions make even the best-kept Utah lawns vulnerable to disease.

The lush greenery not only beautifies our landscapes, but also provides favorable environmental influences such as cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and reduced dust. However, grass is susceptible to many different types of diseases. Once established in a lawn, these diseases can be devastating. Thus, maintaining healthy, attractive lawns takes hard work and management practices that reduce the likelihood of disease.

Lawn Disease Treatments

A Diagnosis by a lawn expert can help you maintain a healthy, green lawn. High humidity, moisture, stress conditions and certain grass varieties can create favorable conditions for problematic fungi growth that results in lawn disease. Every lawn disease treatment recommended by your lawn specialist will be based on analysis of the type of grass in your landscape and your growing environment.

Most lawn diseases only start after favorable conditions develop, and if these conditions remain, the disease will spread. Favorable conditions for a lawn disease may include grass that is under extreme stress and/or grass growing in poor soil conditions. Even the weather can impact the development of a lawn disease.
