Turf grass diseases can be one of the
most difficult problems to deal with. One of the biggest issues
involved with treatment of a lawn disease is proper diagnosis of the problem.
At The Lawn Ranger we have professionals who
have been certified to diagnose and treat different types of turf-grass
diseases. Whether it is the result of Winter Mold, or Spring Dead Spot or
other diseases we can help. This process involves a Certified Turf-grass
Professional's visit to your lawn to closely inspect symptoms and take a sample
to test if necessary. Once the diagnosis is complete, a recommendation
for treatment is made. Our trained professionals can then apply the
selected treatment to leave you with a revitalized lawn.
