Expert Landscaping - Lanham's Certified Landscaping

In Lanham's climate, lawn fungus thrives in humid conditions. The best approach is a combination of proper cultural practices and targeted treatment. We recommend core aeration to improve drainage and reduce soil compaction, followed by applying a fungicide specifically formulated for the type of fungus present. It's also crucial to adjust your mowing height and watering schedule to prevent future outbreaks.

Preventing weeds in mulch beds starts with a proper foundation. We apply a pre-emergent herbicide before laying down fresh mulch, which creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating. Using the right type and depth of mulch (typically 2-3 inches) is also key. For existing beds, we carefully remove weeds by hand or with targeted spot treatments to avoid harming your desirable plants.

Timing is everything for preventative care in our area. We recommend a spring clean-up and pre-emergent application in early March to tackle weeds before they start. Fungus prevention treatments are most effective when applied in late spring before the peak summer humidity. A fall aeration and overseeding service is also vital to strengthen your lawn's root system against disease and prepare it for the winter.
