I feel I have been watering properly, but my fescue grass has brown spots. Whats up?
There is a good possibility your fescue has brown patch disease. This is very common in Tall fescue lawns in the summer, when it is hot and humid. This disease can come in overnight and cause serious damage to a lawn within a few days. There is currently no way to prevent this disease. If the areas are circular and there are small brown spots on the individual blades of grass, it may be brown patch. Applications of disease control materials are part of the Magnolia Lawn program, so we can help. Call us right away. If you take care of your lawn yourself, go to a garden center as soon as possible and purchase a disease control material specifically labeled for brown patch. Be sure to follow label directions. This disease is made worse by extended wet and humid periods, so water only when necessary, and only when there is already dew on the ground.
