Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most common cause of lawn fungus in Stonington, and how do you treat it?
In our coastal Stonington climate, humidity and shade are prime contributors to lawn diseases like brown patch and dollar spot. We start with a precise diagnosis, then apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides. Crucially, we also advise on cultural practices like proper mowing height and aeration to improve air circulation and prevent future outbreaks.
How do you fix bare spots in my lawn, and when is the best time to do it?
Bare spots are often due to compaction, poor soil, or previous disease. We repair them by first addressing the root cause—loosening compacted soil or adjusting pH—then overseeding with high-quality grass blends suited for our region. For Stonington, early fall is ideal for seeding, as the warm soil and cooler air give new grass the best start.
As a Stonington homeowner, what's one thing I can do to prevent lawn problems?
The most impactful step is a consistent, proper mowing routine. Keeping your grass at about 3-3.5 inches tall encourages deep roots that resist drought and disease. It also shades the soil, reducing weed germination and moisture loss. Sharpening your mower blades regularly for clean cuts also prevents stress that can make your lawn vulnerable to local fungi.
