Don’t panic—it’s likely slime mold, a harmless fungus-like organism that commonly appears during warm, wet weather. Slime mold feeds on decaying organic matter in the soil and does not damage your grass, harm pets, or create any long-term lawn issues.

While it may look alarming, it’s simply a sign that Mother Nature is doing her thing. Most slime molds will disappear on their own as conditions dry out. If desired, they can be removed by lightly brushing the grass or rinsing with a hose.

At JLM Turf, we’re always keeping an eye on your lawn so you don’t have to. If you ever notice something unusual in your turf, feel free to reach out, we’re happy to help identify it!

Happy Earth Day from JLM Turf.

We believe caring for lawns also means caring for the environment around them. That’s why we focus on responsible applications, proper timing, and protecting the properties we serve.

We’re proud to help protect what we have while building healthy, strong turf the right way.

As turf professionals, we believe protecting and improving the landscapes we care for goes hand in hand. Healthy lawns and landscapes do more than look good. They help reduce erosion, improve soil health, support cleaner outdoor spaces, and create places families and communities can enjoy.

🚨 DROUGHT ALERT — RALEIGH WATER RESTRICTIONS START MONDAY 4/20 🚨

We’re in a serious drought across the Raleigh area, and the City of Raleigh will be enforcing mandatory water restrictions beginning Monday, April 20th.

If your lawn is looking stressed, brown, or dormant right now, please do NOT mow. Mowing drought-stressed turf adds additional stress to grass that is already fighting to survive, and can cause serious long-term damage.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔸 Skip the mow — Hold off on mowing until conditions improve. Your lawn needs rest, not more stress right now.
🔸 Brown isn’t dead — Most turf types go dormant during drought to protect themselves. With rain or proper irrigation, it will bounce back.
🔸 Water smart — If you’re watering, follow Raleigh’s restriction schedule and water early in the morning to reduce evaporation loss.
🔸 Questions? — We’re adjusting our application schedules around these conditions and we’re here to help. Reach out anytime.

Protecting your turf investment is what we do we’ll keep you updated as conditions change.
