Insect & Fungus Control
Fungi such as brown patch or dollar spot can create unsightly brown patches in your lawn. We can apply an insecticide or fungicide to your lawn to remedy these problems when they arise.
Diagnose, then treat
Diagnosing the mystery brown patch.
Here's a frustrating scenario every lawn owner knows: brown patches appear, so you water more. They spread anyway. You water more still, and now they're spreading faster, because the problem was never drought. It was fungus, and extra water is exactly what it wanted.
Lawn diseases like brown patch and dollar spot thrive in the warm, moist conditions that irrigated summer lawns provide, and they're easily mistaken for drought stress or pet damage. Lawn insects present the same trap from a different angle. Grubs and turf pests damage roots below the surface, so the grass browns in patches that look like anything but bugs.
That's why this service starts with diagnosis, not a jug of product. Fungicide won't fix an insect problem, insecticide won't fix a fungal one, and neither fixes an irrigation issue. Our technicians identify what's actually happening in your turf, then treat it with the right product at the right time. They'll also tell you what conditions invited it, so it's less likely to come back.
Our process
How we work
Diagnose First
Fungus, insects, or something cultural. The treatment depends on getting this right.
Treat Precisely
Targeted fungicide or insecticide, applied by licensed technicians at label rates.
Address the Cause
Watering patterns, thatch, compaction: we'll flag whatever made your lawn hospitable to the problem.
Prevent the Rerun
Where problems recur seasonally, we'll build prevention into your lawn program.
Local knowledge
Lawn diseases & pests in Central Washington
Our irrigated lawns in hot summers create textbook fungal conditions: warm nights, moist turf, lush growth. Brown patch and dollar spot are the usual suspects, and compacted soil makes everything worse by keeping moisture at the surface where fungi want it. That's why aeration is literally the first line of defense against soil fungi, and why chronic disease problems often trace back to soil, not bad luck.

Common questions
Insect & fungus control FAQs
How do I tell fungus from drought stress?
It's genuinely hard from the curb. Patterns, patch shapes, and how the grass blades look up close all matter. If watering more isn't helping (or is making it worse), stop and have it diagnosed.
Can you treat it before it spreads to the whole lawn?
Yes, and speed matters. Fungal diseases spread in the right conditions, so early treatment protects the rest of the turf.
Will it come back next year?
It can, if the conditions that invited it persist. That's why we pair treatment with cause-fixing: adjusting the conditions, aerating compacted soil, and preventive scheduling where a problem is a known repeater.
Is this the same as your tree & shrub pest service?
Different service, same philosophy. This one covers your lawn's insects and fungi; Tree & Shrub Pest Control covers the woody plants above it.
