Licensed Landscapers in Lake Mary, FL 32746 - NativeScapes

Treating lawn fungus in our area requires a two-step approach: correct diagnosis and cultural correction. We first identify the specific fungus, as treatment varies. Crucially, we then address the underlying cause, which is often related to irrigation. Over-watering or watering at night creates a perfect environment for fungus. We'll adjust your watering schedule, improve drainage if needed, and apply a targeted, professional-grade fungicide to stop the spread and help your lawn recover.

Absolutely. This is a frequent issue we see in Lake Mary. Older or malfunctioning timers can fail to deliver the right amount of water at the right time. They may run zones for too short a duration, preventing water from reaching the root zone, or at the wrong time of day, promoting evaporation and disease. We perform a comprehensive irrigation audit, checking timer programming, zone run times, and system pressure to identify and fix the inefficiency causing those brown patches.

Proactive, climate-appropriate maintenance is key to prevention here in Seminole County. Our services focus on creating a strong, healthy lawn that naturally resists issues like fungus. This includes mowing at the correct height for your grass type to reduce stress, core aeration to alleviate soil compaction and improve water penetration, and implementing a smart, seasonal fertilization plan. By combining these practices with an optimized irrigation schedule, we build lawn resilience, saving you time and money on reactive treatments down the road.
