Lucas Landscaping | Professional Landscapers in Salem, VA

In our Salem area, Brown Patch and Dollar Spot are very common, especially during humid periods. We start with a proper diagnosis, as treatment varies. Our approach typically involves a targeted fungicide application and cultural adjustments, like improving soil drainage and adjusting your mowing height, to stop the spread and help your lawn recover.

Patchy lawns here are often due to compacted soil, poor drainage, or thin thatch, which prevent grass roots from thriving. We help by performing core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with region-appropriate grass blends to fill bare spots, and implementing a tailored fertilization plan to promote thick, uniform growth.

Timing is key! For fungus, early intervention in spring or at the first sign is best. For patching and overseeding, early fall is ideal in Salem, as cooler temperatures and autumn rains help new grass establish strong roots before winter. We can assess your lawn any time and create a seasonal plan for optimal results.
