Lawn Disease Management – Protect and Restore Your Lawn’s Health

Lawn diseases such as red thread and fusarium (microdochium patch) can quickly spoil the appearance of a lawn and weaken grass if left untreated. These diseases often develop during periods of stress caused by poor nutrition, excess moisture, compacted soil, or unfavourable weather conditions. Our professional disease management service is designed to control active disease, strengthen the grass, and reduce the risk of future outbreaks.

What Disease Management Achieves

Controls Active Lawn Disease
Treatments are applied to suppress and control common turf diseases such as red thread and fusarium, halting their spread and limiting further damage to the lawn.

Restores Lawn Appearance
Disease management helps grass recover from discolouration, thinning, and patching, allowing the lawn to regain a healthy, green and uniform appearance.

Strengthens Grass Against Stress
By improving turf health and resilience, the lawn becomes better able to withstand environmental stress that can trigger disease.

Reduces Future Disease Risk
Addressing underlying causes such as poor nutrition, excessive moisture, and compaction helps create conditions that are less favourable for disease development.

Protects Grass Growth and Density
Healthy, well-managed turf is more resistant to infection, helping maintain lawn thickness and reduce bare or weakened areas.

Common Lawn Diseases Treated

Red Thread – Often caused by high humidity and fluctuating weather conditions, appearing as pink or red thread-like growths on grass blades.

Fusarium (Microdochium Patch) – Common in cool, damp conditions, causing circular patches of brown or straw-coloured grass.

A Holistic Approach to Disease Control

Effective disease management goes beyond treatment alone. Our service may include:

Targeted treatments where appropriate
Nutritional support to correct deficiencies
Improvements to drainage and airflow
Advice on mowing, watering, and seasonal care

This integrated approach helps the lawn recover naturally and reduces the chance of disease returning.

When Disease Management Is Most Important

Disease is most commonly seen in autumn, winter, and early spring, but can occur at any time when conditions favour fungal growth. Early identification and treatment are key to preventing long-term damage.

Safe, Professional Lawn Care

All treatments are carried out by trained professionals using approved products and best-practice methods, in line with UK regulations. The aim is to manage disease effectively while maintaining a safe environment for people, pets, and wildlife.

Long-Term Lawn Protection

Disease management is an essential part of professional lawn care. By controlling current infections and improving overall lawn health, this service helps maintain a strong, resilient lawn that looks better, performs better, and stays healthier throughout the year.
