A great lawn does not happen by accident. It takes the right mix of fertilization, weed control, core aeration, and tree and shrub care, all timed to Florida’s weather and soil.

A Lawn Care Program Built for Florida Yards

Our lawn and ornamental program combines regular visits with careful product selection so your landscape gets what it needs, when it needs it. Applications are scheduled about every four and a half to five weeks. On each visit, we adjust the type of fertilizer and treatments based on the season, local regulations, and what we see in your yard that day.

Most homeowners choose the ongoing program for the best results, but single or specialty applications are available if you prefer to call as needed.

During a typical lawn care visit, your technician may provide:

  • Custom blended fertilization.
  • Broadleaf weed control.
  • Insect and disease control when needed.
  • Fire ant treatments when mounds are present.
  • Crack and crevice weed treatments along edges and hard surfaces.
  • A written evaluation after every treatment.

Fertilization for Thick, Green Turf

Fertilization is the foundation of our lawn care service. Florida soils can lose nutrients quickly, especially after heavy rain, so we build your fertilization plan around both your grass type and our local conditions.

Our custom blended fertilizers are:

- Timed to match the season and growth cycle of your turf.
- Designed to support root growth and color, not just quick top growth.
- Adjusted if we notice stress, thinning, or other issues during a visit.

We may also recommend potassium supplements when your lawn needs extra support. Potassium is an important macronutrient for root health and stress tolerance. Because it leaches out of Florida’s sandy soils easily, an annual potassium boost can make a real difference in how well your lawn handles heat, drought, and everyday wear.

Weed Control That Keeps Lawns Clean

Weeds compete with your grass for space, water, and nutrients. Left alone, they quickly make a yard look patchy and tired. Our weed control is built into your regular lawn care service so we can stay ahead of problems instead of chasing them all season.

Weed controls are applied as needed, and we adjust our approach based on what we see on each visit. Over time, a thicker, healthier lawn naturally leaves less room for weeds to take hold.

Your technician targets:

  • Broadleaf weeds that stand out in the turf.
  • Weeds growing in cracks, along edges, and in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Recurring issues that tend to pop up in the same spots.

Core Aeration for Healthier Soil

Florida lawns, especially those in high-traffic areas, can become compacted over time. When soil is tight, water and nutrients sit on the surface instead of reaching the root zone, and roots struggle to spread.
Core aeration helps relieve that compaction. Using a core aeration machine, we remove small plugs of soil from the lawn and leave them on top to break down naturally. This simple process:

- Improves movement of water, air, and nutrients into the soil.
- Encourages deeper rooting and stronger turf.
- Helps reduce thatch buildup.
- Supports better use of the fertilizer and treatments you are already paying for.

Core aeration is especially helpful for heavily used lawns, problem areas that stay thin, and yards that tend to dry out quickly between rains or irrigations.

Tree and Shrub Care for a Complete Landscape

Your lawn is only part of the picture. Trees and shrubs frame your home, provide shade, and tie the whole landscape together. Our tree and shrub care services are designed to keep those plants healthy and attractive alongside your turf treatments.
A typical tree and shrub visit includes:

- Fertilizer to support growth and color.
- Insect control when pests are present.
- Disease control when needed.
- A written evaluation outlining what we treated and what we recommend.

Healthy ornamentals help your entire property look more polished and well cared for, and they benefit from the same thoughtful, seasonal approach we bring to your lawn.

Extra Protection and Specialty Services

In addition to core lawn care, we offer specialty services that help your yard handle Florida’s toughest challenges.

Moisture Management

Our moisture manager program helps soil hold on to water longer, making more moisture available to plant roots between rains or irrigations. This can reduce drought stress, help control dry spots, and improve the efficiency of the fertilizers and products we apply.

Fire Ant Control

Fire ants are a common frustration in our area. During regular visits, we treat visible mounds with baits or targeted liquid applications. For longer-lasting relief, we may recommend a once-a-year granular treatment that provides extended control of fire ants and other nuisance pests in the lawn and beds.

A Local Team That Knows Your Lawn

Every yard is a little different, even on the same street. When we visit, we are not just checking a box. We are looking at how your lawn, trees, and shrubs are responding to the weather and the treatments they have received so far.

Our goal is to make your lawn care feel simple and predictable while we handle the details behind the scenes.

You can expect us to:

  • Walk your property and look closely at turf and plant health.
  • Adjust treatments based on what we see that day.
  • Leave a written evaluation so you know what was done.
  • Offer simple recommendations you can follow between visits.
