Aiken's summers bring the kind of heat and humidity that lawn diseases love. Brown patch fungus is the most common culprit from June through September — warm nights above 70°F and wet grass are all it takes for it to spread across a Bermuda or centipede lawn fast. Sandy loam soils help with drainage but create their own problems: they dry out quickly under drought pressure and can compact around high-traffic areas, making it harder for roots to go deep. These guides walk through diagnosing what's wrong with your Aiken lawn and what to do about it before the damage spreads.
