GreenWay Grass Care offers a number of lawn disease treatments to contain and prevent common lawn diseases in Colchester, North Essex and surrounding areas.

Lawn disease is a becoming more of a common problem in the UK and often comes in the form of fungus. Lawn disease can be a particular problem in newly laid lawns and is often a result of recent weather conditions.

Fungal problems such as mycylium, red thread and dollar spot can all ruin the appearance of new turf if left untreated. We can analyse your lawn disease and provide a treatment program that will improve the appearance of your lawn and remove the fungal disease.

Because Greenway holds current licenses for the handling and use of fungicides, we can identify problem areas quickly and treat them with industry leading products not available to the public.

Mycelium

Mycelium lawn disease comes in the form of a white fluffy fungus and usually occurs on fine lawns like bowling greens, particularly after long periods of standing snow. With poor drainage and specific conditions, this lawn disease can quickly take hold of any lawn and can spread with the use of lawn mowers and human interaction.

This lawn disease can destroy the appearance of your lawn and should be treated professionally to ensure that outbreaks are reduced and the outbreak is under control.

Dollar Spot

Dollar Spot lawn disease happens during reduced fertility and often occurs when the weather has been particularly mild and wet. Your individual lawn leaves will appear to be dying, taking on a light brown appearance but at the same time, areas will appear healthy. Dollar spot does not attack the roots so with the correct treatment it can make a full recovery.

Red thread

Red Thread lawn disease often occurs after heavy downpours and particularly in poorly lit gardens or where the soil lacks nutrients. Heavy rain can wash away the nutrients grass needs to grow properly and as a result, diseases can occur. While not a lawn disease that kills the roots, it does attach the leaves and can leave patches of red grass.

Rust

Rust disease in lawns comes in many forms and usually take hold in early summer through to autumn. Increased humidity is a common cause along with lower grass fertility and reduced lawn mowing which results in a rusty yellow and orange appearance on the lawn.
