General Winter Stress Tips

There are two types of snow mold that we typically see–gray and pink. These diseases appear as circular patches on your lawn that will be brown to tan with either a gray or pink tint. In a typical winter, these patches usually damage only the leaf tissues of the grass, and will they will recover in the spring after you’ve mowed your grass a few times. However, especially cold winters may cause permanent damage to your grass.
You can help your turf recover more quickly by:

• Lightly raking the matted patches with a leaf rake to improve air circulation.
• Properly fertilizing your grass.
• Reseed in areas that have been permanently damaged with high-quality seed.
