Lawn Disease Control

Have you noticed your lawn browning or yellowing in certain spots? You could have lawn disease. Lawn diseases are typically caused by fungi, which can be harmful to pets and humans. Our team of lawn care technicians are specially trained to identify and control lawn diseases to prevent them from spreading.

Lawn diseases are typically caused by bacteria or fungus. The disease starts in the soil but eventually spreads. When it spreads, signs like brown patches and silver spots may start to appear on the blades of grass.

Below are some of the most common visual signs of lawn disease:

Brown Patches

Brown patches may appear as brown, circular areas no bigger than a couple of inches in diameter. They may also appear yellow.

Dollar Spots

Similar to brown patches, dollar spots appear as small, silver circles. These circles will eventually turn brown and may expand into larger patches or circles.

Fairy Rings

Fairy rings are caused by fungal growth in the soil. These rings appear green and may or may not have mushrooms growing out of them.

Leaf Blight

Leaf blight is a fungal or bacterial infection that causes blades of grass to turn yellow or brown. The discoloration typically starts at the tips.

If you notice visual indicators of leaf blight on your property, contact our team to receive support. Our staff provides reputable lawn care services for homeowners in Maryland and has treatment options available for leaf blight.

Gray Leaf Spots

Gray leaf spots are another fungal infection that appears as small, wet lesions on grass blades. These spots eventually turn into gray or tan spots. Our professionals are available to help you eliminate gray leaf spots on your lawn.

Melting Out

Melting out is a disease that generally happens in cooler weather. It presents itself as brownish-black streaks that appear on grass blades.

Powdery Mildew

Pythium

Also known as grease spot, Pythium is a disease that attacks and kills turf. It’s a fungal infection that appears as small, circular brown spots, typically within a group.

Lawn Aeration and Seeding Services

You've likely heard of lawn aeration if you own a home with a yard. Lawn aeration is creating holes in your soil for better airflow. In other words, it’s a way to let your lawn breathe. Aeration also promotes better drainage and breaks up compacted soil. In addition, our seeding services might also work in your favor if your lawn is looking a little sparse.

Our Aeration Process

Lawn aeration takes time, which is why so many homeowners in Maryland turn to Ned’s Home.

1. Dethatch

Before starting aeration, our crew will dethatch your lawn. Dethatching simply means to break up the thatch layer using a rake. A thatch layer that is more than ½ an inch thick can actually prevent your lawn from soaking up nutrients.

2. Check Soil

Next, we will check your soil to see if it’s compacted. Compacted soil impacts things like drainage and nutrient absorption, so knowing how compacted the soil is helps in determining when it’s time to aerate.

3. Aerate

Our crew will arrive on your property dressed in proper gear, such as wearing aerator shoes. The most commonly used aerators are called core aerators, or plug aerators. We will place these plugs about two to three inches into the soil.
