Lawn Fungus: What It Is, How to Spot It, and What to Do About It
Lawn fungus can turn your beautiful grass into patchy, discolored, or dead-looking turf seemingly overnight. While we include preventative fungicide treatments in our Elite Plan, it's important to understand one thing:
Preventative treatments drastically reduce your risk—but don’t guarantee immunity.
Without them, if fungus shows up, you’re guaranteed to see major damage.
Why Lawn Fungus Happens
Fungus thrives in the same warm, wet, and humid conditions we deal with here in Arkansas. Things like overwatering, mowing too short, compacted soil, or excessive thatch can make the problem worse.
Common signs include:
Brown patches that spread quickly
Slimy or moldy-looking spots
Grass blades with dark or discolored lesions
A musty or “off” smell
Our Elite Plan Includes Fungus Prevention
At Lazer Property Services, our Elite Treatment Plan includes year-round preventative fungicide applications. These treatments are built into your lawn care program to keep you ahead of seasonal fungal threats. While they drastically reduce the chances of infection, no fungicide can stop all outbreaks 100% of the time—especially when conditions are ideal for fungus.
Think of it like a flu shot for your lawn—it gives you protection, but not invincibility.
Already Have Fungus? Here’s What to Do
If you suspect fungus, don’t wait. The faster we act, the better your results. Here’s how we can help:
On-Site Diagnosis: We'll come out, inspect the lawn, and identify the specific fungus strain.
Do's & Don'ts List: We'll give you a customized action plan to avoid spreading or worsening the issue.
Targeted Treatment: We offer powerful, one-time fungicide treatments to directly target the outbreak.
⚠️ Important Note: These specialty fungicide treatments are not included in your monthly subscription. Why?
Because they involve:
Premium fungicides (often $150+ per bottle wholesale)
A separate diagnostic visit
A specialized application team
That’s why these are billed separately and typically cost more than regular treatments.
Bottom Line
Lawn fungus is aggressive and expensive to fix—unless you’re proactive. Our Elite Plan gives you the best chance at prevention. But if it still finds its way in, we’ve got you covered with expert diagnosis and professional treatments.
