It has looked great the best in the neighborhood very plush.

My yard has 3 city gutters and i have mold.

I have just discovered many stems on the edge of my lawn have black on the tips of the grass. Using a power washer clean your gutters to get the initial mildew and grime off. Do you have a lot of trees. Since you have to maintain the lawn i don t know why it would be an issue.

Mold needs water to grow. I resided my lawn and reseeded it about two months ago. Being that this is the case your question should go to your city as well. Mold is about the last thing you want on your home.

Apply a fungicide to your lawn. Chances are there is not enough sunlight and air flow to dry things up hence the mold. A seasonal appointment to have your gutters cleaned may be the appropriate solution for many homeowners with an extra service in the fall given the additional volume of falling leaves. Your yard and landscape will suffer.

Roofing systems need gutter installation in order to properly direct water away from the home saving the foundation and other areas from damage. When the rain gutters and downspouts get blocked the water can t flow away from the roof line and your building. But not every gutter installation can prevent mold. If you haven t cleaned the debris out of your gutter yet do this first with a garden trowel.

Choose a fungicide that addresses the infection you have in your yard. You greatly reduce the ability to sell a home that has a damaged foundation and will have your work cut out for you. When you have a bad foundation your entire property value takes a significant hit as well. Water flows along the path of least resistance and you don t want that path to be under your roofing materials or inside your walls.

If it s a small area generally less than 10 square feet and not that this is a recommendation but you may be able to do it yourself or hire a handyman to come in and clean it.

There are two types of fungicide. My best guess without knowing where you live or seeing a photo is that your yard needs to be dug up and leveled. Both tamas and goliszewski say service should include cleaning gutters making sure downspouts are draining properly cleaning up debris from the ground and. This may not be a major problem.

How is that possible. Most of the time our property boundary lines end a few feet away from the street not at the street inself. This section of the lawn is in the sun. What in the world would rain gutters have to do with mold inside my home.

It coats the surface of the plant and kills the spores it comes in contact with. As noted all homes have some mold. Or add french drains.
