Often mistaken for drought stress, this disease causes yellowing, thinning grass and blackened roots, primarily affecting St. Augustine and Bermuda lawns.
Gray Leaf Spot
Appears as gray or tan spots on blades of grass, typically in humid summer months.
Dollar Spot
Small, silver-dollar-sized patches that merge over time, common in Bermuda grass.
Rust
Orange or rust-colored dust on your shoes or mower blades is a telltale sign of this disease.
