Plains Lawn Service | Certified Landscapers in Auburn, AL

Our core lawn care program includes seasonal aeration, which is crucial for Auburn's clay-heavy soils. Aeration creates small holes in your lawn, alleviating soil compaction and dramatically improving water infiltration and drainage. This helps prevent the puddling and standing water that can lead to fungus, mosquito breeding, and root damage. Regular maintenance ensures your lawn's soil structure stays healthy to handle our local rainfall.

Common signs in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, and a white, cottony growth (like powdery mildew) or slimy red threads. Auburn's humidity creates a perfect environment for these diseases. When we identify a fungus, we apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides. More importantly, we adjust your mowing height and watering schedule as part of your care plan to create conditions that discourage fungus from returning.

In Auburn, these issues are often connected. Standing water from poor drainage creates chronically wet soil, which stresses grass roots and creates the perfect environment for fungal diseases to take hold. The brown patches are often a symptom of the fungus thriving in those wet areas. Our approach tackles both: we correct the drainage through aeration and address the existing fungus with treatment, solving the root cause and the visible symptom together.
