The property year

2 visits · Dry
Build seasonSt. Augustine sits off-color and barely grows. The ground is dry and firm enough for machines.
What we doPerennial cutback and structural pruning. Hardscape crews start patios and walls while the lawn asks for nothing.
2 visits · Dry
Pre-emergentSoil temperature climbs toward 65°F. Crabgrass and goosegrass are days from germinating.
What we doPre-emergent across the whole lawn before a single weed shows. Miss this window and you spray all summer instead.
3 visits · Dry
Irrigation auditGreen-up begins. Growth restarts and the irrigation system gets its first real workout of the year.
What we doEvery zone run and checked with catch cups, heads straightened and re-aimed, controller reset to the current watering days. Mulch down before the weeds are.
4 visits · Dry
First feedDriest stretch of the year. Sun-baked edges along driveways and sidewalks start to thin first.
What we doFirst fertilizer once the turf is fully green, chinch-bug scouting on the hot edges, and mowing moves to weekly.
4 visits · Dry
Peak heat with no rain behind it yet. Beds dry out between waterings and the turf shows footprints.
What we doMulch topped back to three inches to hold moisture, second pre-emergent, and grades walked before the rains arrive.
4 visits · Rainy
Drainage checkThe rainy season opens and everything grows at once. Water finds every low spot in the yard.
What we doWeekly mowing, and a drainage walk after the first heavy storm — we mark where water stands and price the fix.
5 visits · Rainy
Growth and fungus peak together. Gray leaf spot shows up in St. Augustine after a run of wet nights.
What we doMowing height raised, clippings dispersed rather than bagged, and the irrigation controller turned down — July damage is usually over-watering.
5 visits · Rainy
Pest watchHumidity peaks. Chinch bugs and sod webworm work the full-sun areas hardest.
What we doTargeted treatment where we find damage, not blanket spraying. Palms fed for potassium. Limbs pulled back off the roofline before storms.
4 visits · Rainy
Storm season peaks, then the rain tapers off in the last week or two.
What we doPost-storm cleanup, fall fertilization, and the irrigation put back to work as natural rainfall drops away.
4 visits · Dry
Planting monthRains end. Soil is still warm while the air cools — the best planting conditions Florida gets.
What we doFall pre-emergent for winter weeds, new plantings while roots can establish before spring, and irrigation back on a real schedule.
2 visits · Dry
CutbackGrowth slows hard and oak leaf drop begins. Mowing drops to every other week.
What we doCutback and the last feed of the year — potassium for cold hardiness, not nitrogen. Bermuda lawns get overseeded with rye for winter color.
2 visits · Dry
Build seasonDormant and quiet, with cold snaps that catch tender tropicals out.
What we doFrost protection on the tender material, light trimming, and hardscape crews back on site through the whole month.
The monthly plan
You are not buying mowing. You are buying somebody who turns up in February with pre-emergent and in July with the controller turned down — and who is already on the property the week something starts to go wrong.
St. Augustine at 3½ to 4 inches, Zoysia lower. Never scalped to make the next visit easier.
Beds, walks, and the driveway edge. Clippings off the hard surfaces, not into the storm drain.
Somebody looks at the irrigation and the plant material every visit, not once a year.
If something changed — a broken head, a thinning patch, a limb over the roof — you hear about it that afternoon.
We measure the turf and count the irrigation heads before we quote, so the number holds. No contract — thirty days' notice either way.
