How to Get Rid of a Spring Dead Spot

Spring Dead Spot, or SDS, is an extremely annoying, unsightly, and harmful detriment to your once beautiful lawn. AELMI can treat your yard with a comprehensive, effective, time-tested micronutrient package that is known as a HOPS treatment. This will serve to help remedy your blossoming spring lawn of a vicious onslaught from the Spring Dead Spot Fungus, and minimize the recovery time in doing so. The experts from Alternative Environments can also treat your yard with fungicide treatment(s) in the fall to help reduce the likelihood of an SDS reoccurrence when next year rolls around. Our experts are ready, willing and able to consult with you, and begin treating your lawn as soon as you desire. Call our team at 678-840-4449 to get the latest treatment programs pricing specials. Here is a helpful collection of tips and information regarding Spring Dead Spot Fungus:

  • SDS primarily affects the roots and stolons (horizontal runners that serve as connections between organisms) of the grass in your lawn
  • SDS also effects rhizomes (underground stems of plants that send out roots from its nodes), causing plant decline, and if left untreated, death
  • SDS typically functions on 3-6 year cycles
  • Using a lowered mowing height or allowing large thatch accumulation can leave your lawn susceptible to SDS, as can harsh , cold winters.
  • Spring Dead Spot maintains soils at a pH level of 5.0 to 6.0
  • SDS patches may enlarge over 3-4 years, often developing into frogeye rings
  • Recovery from an SDS infestation is slow, as patches fill in after spring green-up
  • After several years disease may disappear completely
  • Patches will reappear in same lawn
  • Circular or arc shaped
