P G Landscaping | Top-Rated Landscapers in Spencer, MA

The best approach is a professional diagnosis, as multiple fungi thrive in our local climate. We identify the specific type, then apply targeted fungicides and adjust your lawn care practices—like watering schedules and mowing heights—to treat the current outbreak and help prevent it from returning.

Absolutely. We start by removing the dead turf and addressing the underlying cause, which in Spencer is often disease or soil compaction. We then re-grade the area, add fresh soil, and re-seed or re-sod with hardy grass varieties suited for our area. To prevent recurrence, we may recommend core aeration and tailored fertilization to strengthen your entire lawn.

Consistent, proper maintenance is key. This includes mowing at the correct height (often higher than you think) to promote deep roots, watering deeply but infrequently in the early morning, and having a soil test done to guide fertilization. A healthy, dense lawn is your best defense against the fungi and stressors common in our region.
