Lawn Diseases

To get a clear understanding why lawn diseases can easily occur in the garden, we do not even need to have in-depth knowledge about the reproduction of pests, viruses and fungi. Almost all of them germinate owing to similar environmental conditions.

• Is your lawn hit by yellowish-brownish spots losing its former glory of luscious green?
• Does your lawn look meagre, unhealthy and patchy?
• Is it dense, yet scarce in some other spots?
• Do you experience more than expected amount of dried grass?
• Can cotton balls, slimy blobs or cobweb-like formations be noticed in your lawn?

If any of these symptoms can be noticed, your lawn is likely to suffer from some dysfunctions. It is highly recommended to embark on a lawn treatment immediately as the actual state can easily deteriorate or even be devastated completely. Primarily, the diseases must be diagnosed appropriately, as no treatment is able to provide efficient recovery once they are lacking. These lawn diseases are mainly caused by fungi or virus infections. Fungi are prone to germinate in moist soil and with large temperature ranges.

Weather conditions are beyond the control of individuals; however, their impact on the environment can be influenced. The determination of the preferred lawn care treatment can ensure the maximum benefit both financially and in terms of time and efficiency.

The treatments are tailored to your needs, customised for the time of the year and finely balanced to ensure your lawn receives what it needs, based on the diagnosis conducted by our team. We are unwilling to provide lawn care treatments without former examinations, as we will never compromise on our approach with quality, attention to details and profound labour. The customised analysis tends to be a low-cost stage, mostly physical presence is required. Please do not hesitate to contact our colleagues!

The lawn and garden care treatment can be triggered, preceded by a lawn analysis and is advised to be repeated at certain intervals. Whoever is in charge of the treatments, must be aware that one sole treatment is not to provide overall improvement in the long run. Also, make sure that besides the protection of plants, special, customised fertilisers and nutrients are required to encourage the grass plant to get back to its former glory during the upcoming treatments.

Lawn diseases

Possible stages of prevention:

• Many tend to forget about the fact that scarification (vigorous raking) is required to be done both in spring and fall times. In springtime, it provides light de-thatching and rejuvenates the existing soil nutrients, while in autumn, deeper scarification helps to remove heavy thatch or moss infestations. These operations help the lawn in spring grow stronger and give it a vibrant colour, while in autumn it remains sparse and gets in its dormant state to be covered in snow.
• In case a lawn is in good conditions, its soil nutrients are there to control diseases and show the signs of growth and improvement. Not only does nitrogen encourage strength, but potassium and micronutrients can contribute to the overall health of the plant. Try not to forget that not the actual weekly growth of the grass is the prime determinant, but its healthy state and look, and lesser boost, instead.
• For the best results and a wonderfully looking lawn, you will need to water it. Some like to think (yet acting against their good will) that lawns are to be watered constantly in summer, even though the development of moist and damp soil conditions is about to evolve and create the hotbed of fungi this way.
• All soils contain micro-organisms and a variety of fungi. Hundreds of them, both hazardous and beneficial coexist in the soil. All things considered, problems occur when this symbiotic interdepency and equilibrium are disturbed. This disturbance is mostly triggered by misusing of fertilizers by us, humans.
• Last, but not least, give some ideas about less crowded gardens. Less crowded, well-aired gardens are prone to suffer less from fungi diseases than those, which are more crammed and enclosed. We can easily come to the conclusion that lawns do not reward enclosures. It is beneficial for them to dry up rapidly and to be vented easily to get rid of dampness and moisture.

Once some of the above-mentioned aspects are given some consideration, you can be certain that some efforts have been made for the sake of your garden and lawn.
