Our Treatment Process: A Three-Application Strategy
At Stellar Lawn Care LLC, we’ve developed a strategic three-application treatment process tailored to combat and prevent lawn diseases effectively, ensuring your lawn remains healthy and vibrant through the seasons. Our treatment schedule is meticulously designed to align with the growth cycles of your lawn and the lifecycle of common lawn pathogens, providing optimal protection and nourishment.
First Application: Early Intervention in May
Objective: The first application in May is all about setting the stage for a healthy growing season. This early intervention focuses on preventing the most common springtime lawn diseases, such as leaf spot and snow mold, which can take hold as your lawn emerges from dormancy.
Treatment Details: We apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote strong, resilient growth in your grass. This is coupled with a targeted fungicide treatment, selected based on the specific diseases prevalent in the Evansville and Newburgh areas. This dual approach ensures your lawn has the nutrients it needs to thrive while protecting it from early disease outbreaks.
What to Expect: You’ll notice your lawn starting to exhibit more vigorous growth, with a richer, more uniform green color. The treatment also helps to fortify the grass against stressors, making it more resilient to disease and pests.
Second Application: Strengthening Defenses in June
Objective: With the lawn now actively growing, our June application focuses on strengthening the lawn’s natural defenses. This mid-season treatment is crucial for managing diseases like brown patch and dollar spot, which can become more active with the warmer temperatures.
Treatment Details: A second round of fungicide is applied, tailored to the specific diseases identified during our initial assessment and any new threats that have emerged. This is complemented by a nutrient-rich treatment designed to enhance root development and grass density, making it harder for diseases to take hold.
What to Expect: Following this application, your lawn will not only look healthier but will be better equipped to withstand the high temperatures and humidity that can exacerbate disease conditions. You’ll see improved density and vitality, reducing the spaces where pathogens can thrive.
Third Application: Sustained Protection in July
Objective: The third application in July is designed to sustain the lawn’s health and vigor through the peak of summer. This treatment reinforces the lawn’s defenses against late-summer diseases, such as pythium blight and summer patch, which can be particularly challenging during periods of high heat and moisture.
Treatment Details: We apply a final fungicide treatment to protect against late-summer diseases, along with a specially formulated slow-release fertilizer that supports sustained growth without overstimulating the lawn, which can increase susceptibility to disease.
What to Expect: Your lawn will continue to display enhanced greenness and density, with a robustness that helps it resist the stresses of summer. This application ensures that your lawn remains a lush, inviting space for summer activities, with a strong foundation to transition into the fall.

Common Lawn Disease
.Brown Patch: Also known as Rhizoctonia Blight, this disease is a hot weather disease that can occur on all types of turf. It first appears in the lawn as rough, circular patches varying in size from 1 – 5 feet in diameter. Conditions favoring this disease in cool season grasses include temperatures above 85 F and high relative humidity; a minimum temperature of 61 F, combined with evening showers or night-time watering; or relative humidity about 95% for more than 8 hours.
Dollar Spot: Also known as Sclerotinia Homeocarpa, this disease can occur in lawns during warm weather. The fungus enters the grass plants when they are wet. Large, tan-colored wounds appear on the grass blades. These infected grass blades form rounded, damaged patches the size of a silver dollar. When Dollar Spot becomes more serious, patches will expand and damage the entire lawn. Leaf spots are small circles with yellow centers and dark borders on, and along, the leaf blade..
Leaf Blight: Also known as Ascochyta Spp., this disease occurs during hot, humid weather. The disease enters the grass plants after evening mowing, followed by excessive night watering. In heavily infested patches, the fungus damages the lawn in circular or tubular patches that often form large, bleached areas. Close inspection of the plant reveals individual leaves dying from the tip down with a brownish purple line running horizontally across the plant.
Rust: This disease generally appears on lawns in late summer and fall, when there are conditions of low light intensity and temperatures between 70 – 80 F with high humidity. Alternating weather patterns with changes from cool, wet weather to hot, dry conditions can also create suitable conditions for the disease. Rust often appears in the form of yellowy-orange flecks on the leaves and tips of grass plants.
