Brown patchstarts in June.

By the time you see brown patch, the lawn has already lost root mass. Pure Turf preventive fungicide goes down before symptoms show, rotating chemistry through the season so we stay ahead of disease, not behind it.

Brown patch is
predictable here.So we get ahead of it.

Middle Tennessee humidity plus warm overnight temperatures plus shade equals disease pressure that arrives like clockwork in early July. Preventive fungicide goes down before symptoms show, which is the part that actually keeps a lawn green.

What we treat

Three diseasesthat take Middle
Tennessee lawns.

01
Brown patch
The big one here. Shows up as irregular brown circles two to ten feet across, often with a smoky gray ring at the edge, when nights stay warm and humid. Hits fescue and ryegrass hardest from early summer on.
Window
June through August
02
Dollar spot
Smaller spots, about the size of a silver dollar, scattered across closely mowed turf. Shows up when the lawn is low on nitrogen and stays damp overnight. A good feeding fixes mild cases; heavy outbreaks need fungicide.
Window
May through September
03
Spring dead spot
The Bermuda one. Circular dead patches that show up as the lawn greens up in spring, caused by a fungus that goes after the roots the fall before. That's why we treat it months ahead, in the fall, not when you finally see it.

How we prevent

Preventive, notreactive.

By the time you see brown patch, the lawn has lost root mass. Preventive applications hold the line before symptoms show.

a.
Inspect
Disease pressure assessment in June.
Before the first fungicide goes down, we evaluate the lawn's risk: cultivar, shade, irrigation pattern, last year's history. A full-sun Bermuda lawn is a different program than a shaded fescue.
b.
Apply
Curative-grade products, preventive timing.
We don't use the watered-down fungicides off a big-box shelf. We rotate professional-grade fungicide classes at curative rates, applied before symptoms show. Rotation prevents resistance buildup.
c.
Rotate
Different chemistry every visit.
Using one type of fungicide over and over invites resistance. We rotate between fungicide classes through the season so we stay ahead of disease, not behind it.
d.
Recover
Same-week response
when disease shows.
If something appears between visits, usually after a long humid stretch, we're back the same week with a curative application. The healthy-lawn guarantee includes disease recovery.

When does fungicide season actually start?

Preventive applications start in June for Essential accounts and May for Elite. The window depends on overnight temperature trends. Once overnight lows stay above 65° for several nights in a row, disease pressure builds fast.

Do I need fungicide on my lawn?

If you have cool-season turf (fescue, ryegrass blends) in Middle Tennessee, yes. Brown patch is reliable enough that we treat it as inevitable on unprotected lawns. Warm-season turf (Bermuda, Zoysia) gets less fungicide because it's more resistant.

What products do you use?

Strobilurin (azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin) and DMI (propiconazole, triticonazole) fungicides in rotation. All EPA-registered, applied by TN Department of Agriculture-licensed technicians, logged on the same-day report.

Is the fungicide safe for pets and kids?

Re-entry interval is 30 minutes after the application dries. Once dry, the treated area is safe for normal use. We apply by spray on calm days to minimize drift and avoid pollinator-active zones where possible.

What if disease shows up between scheduled visits?

Call us. We're back the same week with a curative application at no charge. The healthy-lawn guarantee covers between-visit disease response.

Can I get fungicide without the main lawn care program?

Yes, but it's quoted separately and usually doesn't make sense alone. The lawn's general health (fertilization, mowing, watering) is half the disease defense. Treating disease on an underfed lawn is treating a symptom, not the cause.
