Our proactive approach ensures your lawn receives the right treatment, exactly when it needs it—preventing damage before it spreads.

Lawn Disease Control

What Our Disease Control Service Includes

Lawn diseases can weaken your turf by suffocating blades with fungal growth or disrupting nutrient uptake—leading to thinning, discoloration, and bare patches. Some of the most common issues we tackle include:

  • Red Thread, showing as pink or reddish threads on blades

  • Fusarium Patch (or Microdochium Patch), forming yellow or brown circular spots in cool, damp weather

  • Rust, with orange spore dust that can stain when disturbed

  • Leaf Spot, appearing as small brown or yellow lesions

  • Dollar Spot, creating small straw-coloured circles under humid conditions

What more do you want?

I have been using Lawn Force for about 20yrs. At one time they 'raised' Lawn that had sunk in one area, a couple of years after landscaping had been done. People told me it couldn't be done - but Lawn Force did it and the following year you couldn't 'see the join'! They are a great company who charge a reasonable price and are really good at communication. I would highly recommend them.
