Spring season is once again here and its time to take a look at your lawn for a double effort of taking care for it inorder to avoid diseases since on this season, lawns will be more attractive to fungus and other bugs. Therefore, this time you should be very much aware of what’s going on with your lawn. Check out for signs of diseases and fungus in your lawn. When you see mushrooms showing up, molds or mildew, then you should be alarmed and take necessary actions to block those diseases that would start to ruin your lawn.

These spring lawn diseases that you usually see is the result of decaying organic materials or too much moisture from your lawn. You couldn’t get away with heavy rains during spring but to help prevent them, you can fix drainage or the debris in your soil. Then, you can also dig through the dead roots of your trees and always aerate. And try to get those mushrooms you see growing within your lawn so through that you would be able to block their growth and not spread in your lawn.

And finally, Do not over fertilize your lawn as they may push growth of fungus more since other excess nutrients may help them grow and spread out more in your lawn. Always check labels before you fertilize.
