How We Treat Leaf Spot
From Stressed Turf to Thriving Green
Leaf spot is one of the most common fungal diseases in Ohio lawns. When it shows up, timing is critical. Our technicians apply targeted curative treatments to eliminate the fungus and stop further damage. But treatment is only the first step. Because leaf spot can leave behind thin or damaged grass, we also provide:
Fertilization to restore nutrients and fuel recovery.
Core Aeration to loosen compacted soil so water, air, and nutrients reach the roots.
Overseeding with a premium cool-season blend to fill bare areas and bring new life to your lawn.
With this combined approach, your lawn won’t just fight off disease — it will come back thicker, greener, and stronger.
Quick Facts About Leaf Spot

Turn Leaf Spot Damage Into Lasting Lawn Health
More Green. More Life Outdoors.
When leaf spot is under control, you don’t just get a healthier lawn — you get peace of mind. No more worrying about brown patches creeping across your yard. Instead, you can enjoy a lawn that looks lush, feels soft underfoot, and provides the perfect backdrop for cookouts, kids’ games, and relaxing evenings outside.
Tips to Help Prevent Leaf Spot
While treatment works fast, a few good habits make a big difference in prevention:
Mow at the right height (not too short) to reduce turf stress.
Water deeply but less often — frequent, shallow watering encourages fungus.
Aerate yearly to relieve compaction and improve air circulation in the soil.
Fertilize consistently so grass has the strength to fight off disease naturally.
