Our licensed technicians target the most common lawn and plant diseases in Vero Beach, Sebastian and Fort Pierce, including:

• Brown patch – circular brown areas that spread quickly in hot, humid weather

1. Free lawn inspection. We identify your grass type, any active disease, and problem areas like shade or poor drainage.
2. Targeted treatment. We apply professional-grade fungicide matched to your lawn and the disease present.
3. Scheduled protection. We return every month from October through March to keep fungus from coming back.
4. Ongoing advice. We share simple watering and mowing tips that help prevent disease between visits.

Fungicide is an important tool, but it only stops the fungus temporarily until the soil can dry out. Drying out the soil is the most important step. Here's how you can help:

1. Cut back on irrigation. As soon as you see fungus, turn off your irrigation or reduce it to only as needed.
2. Keep irrigation off after treatment. After your fungicide application, leave the irrigation off and water only as needed so the soil can dry out.
3. Use a soil moisture meter. We recommend checking the soil before you water. It takes the guesswork out and helps prevent overwatering.
4. Water less in cooler weather. Lawns need much less water when temperatures drop, so water only as needed.

How do I know if my lawn has a fungus?
Common signs are brown or yellow patches that grow in circles, rings, spots on grass blades, or a slimy or cottony look in the morning. If you're not sure, we'll inspect it for free.

When is the best time to apply fungicide?
Prevention works best. In Vero Beach, Sebastian and Fort Pierce, fungus is most active from October through March, so we start treatments before disease shows up and continue through the high-risk season.

How often will you treat my lawn?
Most lawns in our program are treated monthly from October through March. We'll recommend a schedule based on your grass type and disease history.

Is fungicide safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Just keep children and pets off the treated area until the application has dried.

Will fungicide fix the dead grass?
Fungicide stops the disease from spreading. Damaged areas usually recover on their own as the grass grows back.

Do I need to sign a contract?
No. We don't require contracts.
