Lawn Disease Control Specialists Serving Southeastern michigan
When fungus strikes, time is critical. Detroit homeowners often notice circular brown patches, reddish threads, or discolored spots appearing seemingly overnight. Left untreated, these fungal diseases spread quickly, weakening turf and leaving bare, scarred areas that may take months to repair.
At Lakeside Pro Services, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the lawn diseases common to Southeast Michigan. Our trained technicians apply targeted fungicide treatments that stop active outbreaks, protect the rest of your lawn, and set the stage for healthy, lasting growth.

How We Diagnose and Treat Lawn Fungus
Not all brown spots are the same. Some are fungus, some are pests, and some are simple stress damage. Misdiagnosis leads to wasted money and wasted time. Our licensed technicians identify the exact fungus affecting your lawn and apply a treatment tailored to stop it.
Here are the most common lawn diseases in Southeast Michigan—and how we treat them:
Brown Patch (also called Red Patch)
This hot-weather disease creates large, irregular brown circles, often with a grayish “smoke ring” around the edges in early morning dew. It’s especially destructive to bluegrass and fescue lawns common in Detroit. Our fungicide applications shut down the outbreak quickly and protect neighboring turf, with spreading stopped and recovery beginning within weeks.
Dollar Spot
Appearing as straw-colored spots the size of a silver dollar, this disease often spreads into larger scars during humid, dew-laden mornings. We apply targeted fungicides that break the cycle of recurring lesions and restore turf color, preventing patches from merging into bigger bare areas.
Red Thread
Most often seen in cool, wet spring and fall conditions, red thread forms distinctive pink or reddish fibers across nitrogen-deficient lawns. We eliminate the active fungus with fungicide treatment and strengthen turf with fertilization adjustments to prevent recurrence. The result is uniform, healthy green growth.
Rust
Rust shows up as orange-red dust on grass blades, weakening turf so it thins over time. Our treatments kill fungal spores before they spread further, with visible improvement after just one application.
Pythium Blight
One of the fastest-moving diseases, it creates greasy, water-soaked patches that can destroy large areas of turf in days during hot, humid weather. We use powerful fungicides applied at precise intervals to stop the disease immediately, saving healthy turf and preventing large-scale loss.
Necrotic Ring Spot
A soil-borne root disease that causes yellow or tan ring patterns—sometimes with a “frog-eye” effect—it can persist for years if untreated. Our approach combines fungicide treatments with cultural practices like aeration and overseeding to halt the spread and build long-term turf resistance.
Accurate diagnosis is the difference between wasted effort and real results, and our proven approach has restored lawn health for homeowners across Detroit.
Fungicide Treatment That Delivers Results
At Lakeside Pro Services, we don’t rely on generic solutions. Our fungicide programs are built for accuracy, safety, and long-term effectiveness—so homeowners can count on results that last.
Targeted Applications
Every fungus responds differently to treatment. Our technicians select fungicides based on the exact disease present and apply them with precision, ensuring the product works where it’s needed most.
Safe, Professional Use
Correct dosing and timing make the difference between effective control and wasted effort. Our team uses professional-grade products and calibrated equipment, so treatments are consistent, safe for your family, and effective against stubborn fungi.
Integrated Lawn Care Practices
Fungicides work best when combined with smart lawn care. We advise on mowing, watering, and soil management practices that complement treatment and help create a lawn environment less prone to disease.
Reliable Follow-Up
Some fungi linger in the soil even after the first treatment. That’s why we provide ongoing checks to confirm recovery and, if needed, apply follow-up treatments. This ensures the problem is resolved fully, not just masked temporarily.
With this comprehensive approach, Detroit homeowners get more than a spray—they get a trusted solution backed by professional expertise.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Lawn fungus doesn’t improve on its own. In fact, every day of delay allows the disease to spread further into healthy turf. Brown patch can double in size in less than a week under the right conditions, and Pythium blight can wipe out entire strips of grass overnight.
Early treatment not only stops the spread, but also protects the surrounding grass and reduces the need for expensive reseeding or sod replacement. Acting quickly can be the difference between a lawn that recovers in weeks and one that takes a full season to repair.
Local Experts, Local Results
When it comes to lawn fungus, national chains and DIY solutions can’t match the insight that comes from working in Detroit’s neighborhoods every single season. At Lakeside Pro Services, our technicians don’t just know the science of lawn care—they know the specific challenges that Southeast Michigan lawns face year after year.
From riverfront properties where excess moisture fuels Pythium blight, to shaded suburban yards where red thread thrives in spring, we’ve seen it all—and we’ve solved it. Our local roots mean we recognize patterns in turf disease before most homeowners even spot them, and we know exactly which products and cultural practices deliver the best results in our climate.
It’s this combination of professional expertise and local experience that gives Detroit homeowners confidence: when you call Lakeside, you’re getting the right diagnosis, the right treatment, and results that last.
Beyond Treatment: Lasting Lawn Health
Fungus can return if the underlying conditions remain the same. That’s why Lakeside Pro Services doesn’t stop at applying fungicide—we take proactive steps to improve your lawn’s overall health and resilience so problems are less likely to come back.
Fertilization Adjustments
Many lawn diseases, like red thread and rust, thrive when turf is weak or nutrient-deficient. We tailor your fertilization program to provide the right balance of nitrogen and other key nutrients, strengthening your grass so it can naturally resist future outbreaks.
Core Aeration
Detroit’s heavy clay soils hold moisture and create compacted conditions that favor fungal growth. Aeration relieves compaction, improves drainage, and allows air and nutrients to reach the roots—helping turf dry faster after rain and reducing fungus-friendly conditions.
Disease-Resistant Seeding
Some grass types are more disease-prone than others. By overseeding with improved, disease-resistant blends suited for Southeast Michigan, we thicken your lawn while lowering its vulnerability to recurring fungal issues.
Seasonal Monitoring & Care
Fungal diseases often flare up during certain weather patterns, like humid July nights or cool, wet springs. We offer seasonal check-ups to catch the earliest signs of stress or fungus so it can be treated immediately, before it spreads across your lawn.
These proactive strategies don’t just prevent fungus from coming back—they build a healthier, thicker, greener lawn that looks better than it did before the outbreak.
