Keeping your lawn looking lush, green, and healthy goes far beyond simply mowing on a regular basis. While that is certainly important, there are things that can be lurking under the surface to destroy your lawn without you even noticing before it is too late.

That is why it is imperative to make sure you are staying on top of insect and disease control for your landscape. These two things can be detrimental to any lawn if they are not caught early and treated by a professional. While there are DIY options at your local home and garden store, they are not as effective over the long term as professional diagnosis and treatment.

Disease Control

Diseases can be extremely difficult to deal with once they take hold of you your lawn. Often, homeowners don’t notice diseased patches of the lawn until they begin to take over the other areas of grass. Some of the reasons why diseases can be so devastating are because they are often mistaken for something else. Without proper training and knowledge diseases can be mistaken for insect activity or even just dead grass caused by drought.

If not properly diagnosed and cared for disease can completely destroy a yard. If your lawn is devastated by disease the path back to a healthy lawn can be long and expensive. But this doesn’t have to be your story. With the help of professionals from The Experienced Gardener in Fresno, CA your lawn can be disease-free with a general fungicide treatment and regularly scheduled disease preventatives.

Insect Control

Another aspect of lawn care that can’t be overlooked if you want a lush, healthy lawn is insect control. Insects can invade your yard seemingly overnight and devastate a yard. The problem with insects is that there are so many different types of insects that target different parts of your lawn.  There are insects that grow straight for the blades of the grass causing immediate cosmetic damage to your lawn. But the more dangerous types of insects are the ones under the ground.  Certain types of insects burrow under the ground and feed on the roots of your grass. This damage happens right under your nose but since it is out of sight homeowners don’t often notice until the grass starts to die. If you are in Fresno, CA, and noticing signs of disease or insect damage, or if you aren’t sure of what you are seeing, it is time to call in the professionals.
