Disease Control

Disease and fungi can be a large problem in landscapes. They can be caused by many sources such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Certain weather conditions can help certain diseases and cause others to be worse. Fortunately, we can control these effectively with a fungicide program that commonly includes 2 sprays per year. Below are some examples of some of the landscape diseases with which we deal.
