Left untreated, lawn diseases can be devastating to Palm Beach County commercial and residential properties. In severe cases it may be necessary to dig up the old grass and replace it with new sod. Just like in other living organisms, lawn diseases are caused by untreated pathogens living in your lawn. They can turn a beautiful lawn into an unsightly mess and many times are confused with pest control problems.
In South Florida, the vast majority of lawn diseases are caused by a fungus that can easily be treated by a professional. Our lawn pest control and fertilization technicians have been keeping the lawns of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Jupiter and other Palm Beach County, Florida cities lush, green and disease free for over twenty five years. Fertilizer deficiencies, drought damage and insects cause similar symptoms and appearances as lawn diseases and need to be ruled out. In tough cases, we will send a soil sample to The University of Florida to determine if there is a virus, like sugarcane mosaic virus, present in the soil.
Sugarcane mosaic virus first appeared in St. Augustine sod in the early 1960s near sugarcane producing areas of Palm Beach County. At the present time, there is no known cure for sugarcane mosaic virus, so prevention and a healthy, strong lawn is the best defense.
