Are you already thinking about your spring lawn care? Because we are here at ArborLawn. While you’re dreaming about warmer days and a lush green lawn, snow mold might be brewing below the surface. This sneaky lawn disease is common in Michigan and can leave your yard looking less than its best. But don’t worry—we’re here to guide you through what snow mold is, why it matters, and what you can do about it.
Snow mold is a type of fungal disease that can affect grass and other plants during the winter months. It is caused by prolonged exposure to damp, wet conditions, such as those found under a layer of snow. When the snow melts, the affected grass may appear matted, discolored, or dead. If the effects of snow mold concern you, then here’s what ArborLawn suggests you do.
Some people love a fresh coating of snow on the ground. However, others worry about the snow and the damage it can cause to their lawns.

If ArborLawn didn’t treat your lawn before the winter, your lawn could emerge with round, greyish patches of mold. Here are answers to the questions people ask most frequently.
