Full lawn maintenance in Celebration, Davenport and nearby

Mainly the square footage of turf, how easy the yard is to reach (gates, slopes, fenced pools) and how often we visit. Extra services like trimming, cleanups or fertilization are priced on their own.

In our area it is usually St. Augustine, zoysia or bahia, and each needs a different mowing height. We identify it on the first visit and set the mower to match.

Usually weekly in the rainy season. UF/IFAS says to remove no more than one third of the blade per mowing, and in June–September St. Augustine grows fast enough that a longer gap breaks that rule and stresses the lawn.

Warm-season grasses like St. Augustine, Bahia and Zoysia slow down in cool weather, and a light frost can turn the tips brown. They green up again in spring. Winter visits are less frequent for that reason.

St. Augustine has wide, blunt blades and thick runners. Bahia is coarser, with Y-shaped seed stalks. Zoysia is fine and dense. Each is cut at a different height, so we identify it on the first visit instead of guessing.

Chinch bugs are the main pest of St. Augustine grass. They leave yellow-to-brown patches, often in hot, full-sun spots next to pavement, and the centers die. A lawn cut too short or over-fertilized is more at risk. Call us before you treat; the patch can also be drought or disease.

It is often large patch, a fungus active in cooler weather (below about 80°F, November through May). Water only in the morning and only when the lawn needs it, and go easy on fast-release fertilizer. A photo helps us tell it from chinch bugs or drought.

Yes. It includes everything in a mowing visit plus a check for dry spots, insect damage, fungus and sprinkler problems, and hand-pulling weeds in beds. You hear from us when something needs attention.

They are quoted separately, because the timing depends on your grass and your county’s fertilizer rules. You can add them to the same schedule, or bundle everything in a property care plan.

Yes. We work with vacation-rental and out-of-state owners. We can set the visit day around your bookings and contact you by phone, text or email, in English or Spanish.

UF/IFAS describes yellow-to-brown patches, sometimes dead in the center, starting in sunny, water-stressed areas. They suggest vacuuming a square foot where dead meets green grass and looking for the tiny insects on white paper. If you see it, call us and we’ll look before anything is treated.

No. UF/IFAS uses “brown patch” for a separate summer disease. The round patches that show up from November to May in St. Augustine are large patch.

Not by itself, and extra nitrogen can feed both chinch bugs and large patch. Identify the cause first, then fertilize on the UF/IFAS schedule and your county’s rules.

Pavement radiates heat and dries the edge, which is where chinch bugs and drought stress usually start. Check sprinkler coverage along the strip first.

Only after you know the cause. New sod placed beside active chinch bugs or fungus can fail too. Once the cause is under control, patching with sod works.

Yes. Outdoor work does not need anyone home. We quote from photos and a call, and you hear from us with photos when something needs a decision.

Ask for photos after every visit and we send them. Without that request, you get photos whenever something needs your decision.

We check the controller against the current water district order for your address, and the orders in Polk and Lake are temporary, so they need rechecking.

Several short cycles a day for 7 to 10 days, then about daily for 7 to 10 more. SFWMD allows any day except Friday for days 1–30, and four set days for days 31–90.

Wait at least 30 days after the sod is laid, as UF/IFAS recommends. After that, early April and early October are the first and last lawn feedings in Central Florida.

Not in its ordinance summary, as checked October 7, 2026. It does prohibit fertilizing during tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings.

Around February 15, before five straight days at 65–70 °F, according to UF/IFAS Extension in Osceola County. Later applications work less well.
