Get Rid of Brown Patch Fungus in Your Lawn

Brown patch fungus (Rhizoctonia solani) is one of the most common lawn diseases in Florida. It thrives in hot, humid weather and creates unsightly circular brown patches that weaken your turf. If not treated quickly, it can spread and cause lasting damage.

​

At Liberty Lawn and Pest, we specialize in identifying and treating brown patch fungus to restore your lawn’s health and prevent future outbreaks.

Our Brown Patch Fungus Treatment Process

​

• Cultural Practices for Healthier Grass
  We improve lawn conditions by aerating to enhance drainage, recommending proper watering schedules, and adjusting mowing height to reduce stress on your turf. We also evaluate fertilization practices to avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage fungal growth.

• Fungicide Treatments
  Preventative fungicides are applied when conditions favor fungus development, while curative fungicides are used if the disease is already active. Treatments are rotated for effectiveness and reapplied as needed every 2–4 weeks to stop the spread.

• Soil and Grass Health
  Soil testing helps ensure pH levels are optimal, and in cases of damage, overseeding may be done with more resistant grass varieties to strengthen your lawn’s resilience.

• Resting or Reseeding Areas
  Severely affected spots may be rested or reseeded, sometimes with compost or soil amendments to encourage regrowth and improve soil structure.

• Monitoring and Follow-Ups
  Because fungus can return, we offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up treatments as part of our service packages. This ensures long-term lawn health and protection.
