Disease control FAQs

Disease control should be applied as a preventative or as soon as symptoms appear, as early treatment gives the best results. Our treatment clears the disease quickly and helps prevent it from returning.

Many common lawn diseases are more active in the cooler, wetter months of autumn, so this is the time to be especially watchful. And if you’re on an ongoing lawn care plan, your expert will monitor the lawn for you and treat any issues before they spread.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to get it checked quickly.

If you’re unsure, give your local Greensleeves expert a call. We’ll carry out a full inspection, confirm what’s going on, and recommend the right treatment to stop lawn disease in its tracks.

No one wants lawn disease taking over. Left untreated, it can spread fast and leave patches so damaged they’re difficult or sometimes impossible to repair! Acting quickly with a disease control treatment stops the disease in its tracks, protects healthy grass and prevents the problem from spreading.

With ongoing lawn care, your Greensleeves expert can spot the early signs of lawn disease. They’ll diagnose the issue, treat it effectively and put preventative steps in place to stop it returning, saving you time, stress and the cost of major lawn restoration later.

Lawn disease is largely driven by the weather, particularly in shaded areas and during prolonged periods of damp. While it can’t always be prevented, one of the simplest ways to reduce the risk is to keep your lawn clear of leaves, grass clippings and fallen fruit as much as possible.

With an ongoing lawn care package, your local expert will also be able to advise you on simple steps you can take between visits. They’ll put a preventative plan in place too, helping stop disease before it takes hold.
