Apply fungicide on your fescue lawn, Atlanta.

Summer is here and in full swing. Hot, humid days make for the perfect breeding environment for the fungi that attack Fescue lawns (as well as Bermuda and Zoysia) here in Atlanta. Very frequently our lawns in Georgia are over-watered because we think the “browning” we see is from a lack of water. To the contrary, it is most often a fungus. By applying more water we are actually creating a better environment for the fungus and not helping the grass at all. Last summer many Fescue lawns almost died out completely due to fungus infestation and over-watering. The more brown we saw in the lawn, the more water we applied. It was hot last year and rained a lot also.  This was the “perfect storm” for the Fescue demise.  So – don’t water so much. Apply fungicide regularly to prevent fungi growth. Contact a reputable Atlanta lawn chemical maintenance company and get on a professional maintenance prevention program. It is money well spent. You may even save money in the long run by not watering so much, and your lawn will love you for it.

Fescue is a viable lawn for Atlanta gardens and turf areas. Through proper chemical applications a healthy, vigorous Fescue lawn can be obtained.

    I enjoyed reading your new blog especially the article on fireplaces vs. firepits. Lots of food for thought! You and your associates have created beautiful outdoor spaces (and a pool!) for our family over the past few years. We can’t wait to see what you will come up with for our current project down at the farm.
    Thank you for all of your hard work.
    Ashley and Andrew Jones
