Every property owner wants their grass to be healthy and attractive. However, when lawn disease strikes, it can damage or kill your turf, significantly decreasing its health and appearance. While there are no treatments available that will actively prevent lawn disease from finding its way onto your property, you can prevent your lawn from succumbing to a lawn disease with consistent lawn care services such as fertilization, weed control, and aeration.
Continue reading to learn more about these lawn care services and how they can prevent your lawn from falling victim to a lawn disease.

Regular fertilization treatments are essential to the health of your lawn.

One of the best ways to keep your lawn healthy enough to fight off lawn diseases is by having your lawn fertilized multiple times throughout the year. Fertilization treatments are important because it provides your lawn with essential nutrients that your grass needs to grow healthy and strong. You’ll want to apply fertilizer to your lawn multiple times from spring through fall to ensure that it has everything it needs to thrive throughout the year. Most fertilizers are chalked full of these 3 essential nutrients:
  • Nitrogen - This nutrient supports the healthy growth of grass and plays an important role in the process of photosynthesis, which is the process of grass turning sunlight into food.
  • Phosphorus - Phosphorus is a nutrient that supports strong root development.
  • Potassium - This nutrient is known to strengthen grass so it can be strong enough to fight off lawn diseases.

Weed control will prevent weeds from stealing nutrients from your lawn.

When it comes to keeping your lawn healthy, one of the biggest things you’ll want to do is eliminate weeds from your turf. Weeds are a problem because they steal resources from your grass such as sunlight, water, and nutrients. When your grass isn’t able to absorb enough of those resources, it will become weak and won’t have the strength to fight off lawn disease.
The best way to combat weeds is by scheduling regular weed control services. For best results, you’ll want to mix in both pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control treatments throughout the year. Pre-emergent treatments are designed to prevent weeds seeds from sprouting through the soil while post-emergent treatments target weeds that are already in your lawn.

Aeration will give your roots access to the nutrients they need.

Over time, the soil on your lawn will become compacted due to numerous reasons including foot traffic and rainfall among others. When this happens, it makes it hard for the roots of your grass to access the nutrients they need to thrive. When your grass can’t access these nutrients, it will become weak, which makes it an easy target for lawn disease.

The best way to prevent compacted soil is through a process called aeration. Aeration is the process of poking holes in the soil to loosen it up so that nutrients can reach the roots of your grass. When your roots have access to these nutrients, it will allow your grass to grow strong so that it can fight off any lawn disease.

Overseeding is another great lawn care service to schedule and should be done directly after aeration.
