Brown Patch Lawn Disease Treatment in Pinellas County, Florida

Brown Patches in Your Lawn Mean Disease—Not Lack of Water

If you're noticing brown or gray patches scattered across your lawn, don’t assume it's a watering issue—it’s likely Brown Patch disease. While Brown Patch is a nationwide issue from November through May, Florida's hot, humid climate creates the perfect environment for this fungus to thrive nearly year-round, especially after heavy rainfall or prolonged humidity.

At Eagle Lawn and Pest Control, our job is to make lawn care look simple—even in a challenging environment like Tampa Bay and Pinellas County. We bring decades of local experience, turf science, and personal service to every lawn we treat.

What Is Brown Patch and Why It Spreads So Fast

Brown patch is a destructive lawn fungus caused by Rhizoctonia solani, a pathogen that attacks turfgrass at the root and crown level. It can kill grass fast, leaving behind large, discolored circles and a yard that looks more like a patchwork quilt than a lawn.

Why Brown Patch Is So Common in Florida Lawns

Florida's combination of high humidity, saturated soil, and intense summer heat makes it one of the most brown patch-prone states in the country. Contrary to what many believe, overwatering—or even just too much rain—can trigger fungal activity. Lawns that remain wet for too long are especially vulnerable.

Brown Patch Thrives In::

  • Warm, damp nights and humid mornings
  • Lawns saturated for days after heavy rain
  • St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses (common in Florida yards)
  • Dull mower blades and short mowing height
  • Nitrogen-heavy fertilizers in cooler months

How to Spot Brown Patch in Your Yard

What starts as a small, irregular spot can become a lawn-wide infestation in just days.

Signs of Brown Patch

  • Small, light brown or gray patches (a few inches wide)
  • Expanding circles or irregular rings several feet across
  • Dark, thin “smoke rings” around dead areas
  • Grass blades that easily pull out at the base
  • Affected areas look waterlogged or matted in the early morning

If left untreated, Brown Patch will kill your turf down to the roots, potentially requiring expensive sod replacement.
