Lawn Disease Control for Ohio Lawns
Protect Your Turf from Leaf Spot, Dollar Spot & Red Thread
Even the healthiest lawns can fall victim to disease. Fungal infections like leaf spot, dollar spot, and red thread thrive in Ohio’s climate, leaving unsightly patches, thinning grass, and stress that weakens your turf over time. At Lawn Control Center, we provide targeted treatments that stop these diseases in their tracks and help your lawn recover.

Why Lawn Diseases Don’t Have to Win
Lawn diseases spread when conditions are right — humid air, stressed grass, compacted soil, or stretches of rain.
These are the same factors that trigger many common turf diseases, which can thin out your lawn quickly if left untreated. With early treatment and recovery care, your lawn can bounce back faster, look healthier, and resist problems down the road.

The Big Three We Treat Most in Ohio
Not all lawn diseases are the same, but these three culprits are the ones Ohio homeowners see most:
Leaf Spot Control
Dark lesions on grass blades can quickly lead to thinning turf. Our treatments stop the fungus before it spreads, while fertilization, aeration, and overseeding help restore density and color.
Dollar Spot Control
Those small, straw-colored circles (about the size of a silver dollar) can merge into larger dead patches. We target dollar spot at the root and pair treatment with lawn care practices that help grass bounce back stronger.
Red Thread Control
Pinkish or red threads across the lawn aren’t just cosmetic — they weaken turf and slow growth. Our red thread control eliminates the fungus and reinforces your lawn with the nutrients it needs to recover.
The Payoff: A Lawn That Looks Great and Feels Even Better
Treating disease isn’t just about fixing patches. It’s about enjoying your outdoor space again with greener curb appeal that makes your home stand out, a thicker lawn that naturally resists weeds, and a soft, healthy yard where kids and pets can play without worry.
Treatment + Prevention
Stopping disease is only the first step. To keep your lawn healthy long-term, we recommend pairing treatments with:
Fertilization for steady nutrients.
Core Aeration to improve airflow and soil health.
Overseeding to thicken turf and fill in bare areas.
Smart Watering & Mowing practices to reduce stress on grass.
Together, these practices build a stronger lawn that’s less likely to get sick again.
