Palm Beach County’s tropical, humid environment is prime breeding grounds for lawn fungus. Lawn fungus is made up of tiny microscopic organisms that can cause an array of different problems to your West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington and Jupiter residential and commercial lawn no matter what type of sod you are using. From just plain looking bad to serious health consequences, lawn fungus needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
What Causes Lawn Fungus in Palm Beach County?
Just like mold in your home, lawn fungus needs moisture to survive and thrive, but your lawn also needs proper irrigation to keep it healthy and green. These two things may sound contradictory, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Heavy rainfall or poor drainage can result in pooling water. Add in Palm Beach County’s warm temperatures and high humidity and you have the perfect environment for lawn fungus. Overuse of fertilizers and a buildup of thatch can also contribute to lawn fungus issues.
Does Lawn Fungus Just Go Away on Its Own When the Lawn Dries Out?
It’s possible, especially if the lawn fungus was caused by an uncommon event like standing water from a recent tropical storm or hurricane. But if proper drainage is not addressed, it might be an ongoing issue you need to resolve.
What is the Best Treatment for Palm Beach County Lawn Fungus?
