How We Treat Red Thread
Stopping the Spread, Restoring the Green
Red thread spreads quickly when conditions are damp, cool, or stressful for turf. Our technicians apply targeted curative treatments that eliminate the fungus and prevent further damage. But treatment is just the first step — we also help your lawn bounce back with services designed to repair and strengthen:
Fertilization to restore nutrients and fuel healthy regrowth.
Core Aeration to improve air, water, and nutrient flow to the roots.
Overseeding with a premium blend to fill in bare or thinning patches.
This combined approach ensures your lawn doesn’t just survive red thread — it comes back thicker, greener, and more resilient.
Quick Facts About Red Thread

Why It Matters for Your Backyard
Red thread makes it hard to enjoy your lawn the way you want.
Thin, patchy grass doesn’t feel good under bare feet and makes outdoor spaces less inviting. By treating red thread quickly and giving your turf what it needs to recover, we restore your lawn and the time you spend outside with family, pets, and friends.
Tips to Prevent
Red Thread
Treatment clears up the fungus, but good lawn care helps prevent it from coming back:
Fertilize regularly to keep turf well-fed and resilient.
Aerate compacted soil so grass roots can access nutrients.
Overseed thin lawns to maintain density that resists disease.
Water in the mornings to reduce prolonged moisture on grass blades.
