🔴🌱 Seeing pink or reddish patches in your lawn?
It may be a common lawn disease called Red Thread.
Red Thread typically shows up during periods of:
🌧️ Frequent rainfall
☁️ Extended cloudy weather
🌱 Slow-growing turf
The good news? In most cases, Red Thread is more of a cosmetic issue than a serious threat to your lawn.
You may notice:
✔ Pink or red threads on grass blades
✔ Tan or straw-colored patches
✔ Areas that look thin or stressed
At Turf Pride, we help manage Red Thread by promoting healthy turf growth through proper fertilization and cultural practices. As the lawn receives nutrients and begins growing more actively, it will often grow out of the disease naturally.
Our recommendations:
✔ Stay patient
✔ Continue mowing regularly
✔ Avoid excessive watering
✔ Maintain a consistent lawn care program
The recent rainy weather we've experienced in Northeast Ohio has created ideal conditions for Red Thread, so if you're seeing it, you're definitely not alone.
