Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in the Tweed Shire

A healthy lawn is a key feature of any home, but it can be vulnerable to pests and diseases that thrive in the Tweed Shire's warm and humid climate. Below, we’ve outlined some of the most common threats to your lawn and how Riverview Mowing can help you protect and restore it with our professional treatment services

Our Local Lawn Pests

Lawn Grubs

Lawn grubs, or white grubs, are the larvae of beetles that feed on grass roots, causing widespread damage and unsightly brown patches. Early signs of a grub infestation include wilting grass that doesn’t respond to watering and patches that can be easily lifted like carpet. Left untreated, these pests can destroy your lawn’s root system entirely. At Riverview Mowing, we specialize in diagnosing and treating grub infestations with targeted solutions that eliminate the problem and restore your lawn to health.

Army Worms

Armyworms are another destructive pest common in the Tweed Shire. These caterpillars feed on grass blades, often leaving behind chewed grass and bare patches that appear overnight. They are most active in late summer and early autumn, thriving in warm, moist conditions. Our team at Riverview Mowing offers tailored treatment plans to combat armyworms and prevent their return, helping to keep your lawn lush and green.

Our Local Lawn Diseases

Brown Patch Disease

Brown Patch is a fungal disease that thrives in humid weather, leaving circular brown patches on your lawn. The disease spreads quickly, particularly in areas with poor drainage or excessive thatch buildup. Without proper treatment, it can weaken and thin out your lawn. Riverview Mowing offers effective fungicide applications and advice on improving lawn health to reduce the risk of future outbreaks.

Dollar Spot Disease

Dollar Spot is a common lawn disease that causes small, straw-colored patches of dead grass, often the size of a silver dollar. This fungus is prevalent in the Tweed Shire’s climate and typically develops when lawns are stressed by drought or low nitrogen levels. At Riverview Mowing, we provide targeted treatments and customized care plans to address Dollar Spot and strengthen your lawn against further stress.
