Lawn Disease Care in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina Keeps Your Yard Lush and Lovely

You love arriving home each evening to see your beautiful lawn. However, disease and other dangers are always lurking to turn it into a barren patch of grass and dirt. It's not enough to hope that these dangers never arrive, you need to take steps to guard your yard now and take immediate action if you notice any problems with your yard. Lawn disease care can restore your yard to its normal beauty. Here are the three most common dangers to your yard in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

1. Insect Damage

To the common insect, your yard looks like a large salad bar. When insects invade your yard, you might start to notice brown patches in your yard along with patches of dead and dying grass. You might even notice teeth marks in the grass — yikes!

If the infestation is bad enough, you'll even get glimpses of the little critters. Sometimes, these little pests do damage underground. In this case, you may notice roots that are missing or thinning. There might even be small holes in your yard. The most common insects in the Mt. Pleasant area include:

• Chinch bugs
• Grubs
• Armyworms
• Mole Crickets — not related to the cute furry rodent

Pleasant Landscapes is ready to help you wrestle control of your yard back from the insects. We can come out and treat for insects and continue treatments until the threat passes.

2. Fungus

Fungi is another big threat to your thriving yard. Mt. Pleasant is an idyllic location for fungus to thrive and take over a yard because fungus requires heat, moisture, and darkness to thrive. Coastal South Carolina provides all the heat and moisture fungus crave.

You might notice rings of fungus growing in your yard, or dark green patches that look moist and slimy growing in patches of your yard. If your yard is infected with fungus, you may notice a patchy look and areas where the grass looks stunted or shorter than the surrounding grass.

You need a professional to diagnose fungal disease in your yard because not all grass damage is due to fungus. When fungus arrives in your yard, our staff members can help get rid of it and return your yard to its former glory.

3. Weeds

You probably feel like you're constantly battling weeds in your yard. When you treat one area of your yard, more weeds pop up in another section. From spraying weed killer and pulling weeds by the roots to cleaning tools as you move from one section of the yard, it takes a lot of hard work to get rid of weeds and keep them at bay.

Weeds thrive by sucking all the nutrients out of the soil, and this action can kill your grass and other plants. You want to ensure that your grass, shrubs, and other plants are growing and thriving to maintain a beautiful and functional outdoor space.

Pleasant Landscapes recommends pre-emergent treatments on lawn twice a year to help stave off weeds. We can work with you to determine the best time to do the treatments. If you get weeds, we're ready to come rid your yard of them.
