Lawn fungus takes on a variety of forms. Dead-looking grass, brown patches, highly-visible spots, threads, and rings are just a few of the forms in which we see fungus present itself. Fungicide treatments are not included in our six-application program; however, we are available to treat any fungus that may arise. Knowing some of the causes of fungus, how to identify them, and some preventive maintenance practices can prove helpful.
