Fairy rings

Fairy rings are due to various fungi causing rings or arcs of either mushrooms/toadstools, dead grass, dark green grass or all three at the same time. We would need to look at the fairy rings before making recommendations on treatment.

Lawn diseases are caused by either poor health or weather conditions or both. The feeds that Lawnsavers Lawn Treatment Services apply, advice we give about mowing, watering and other advice all help to promote a healthy lawn so it is possible for the cause of disease to be weather conditions which is why a fungicide sometimes need to be applied.

There are also other causes of brown/yellow/bare patches in lawns which would need to be indentified on inspection and recommendations given.
