Your St. Augustine and Bahia grass get the specific care they need to thrive in Citrus County’s climate. No more brown patches from chinch bugs. No more struggling with compacted soil that won’t absorb water or nutrients properly.

First, we assess your specific lawn conditions. Florida grass is different, and your Bahia or St. Augustine lawn faces unique challenges like chinch bugs, soil compaction, and our intense summer heat. We look at your soil health, irrigation efficiency, and any problem areas.
Next, we create a customized maintenance plan. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We consider your grass type, your property’s specific conditions, and your goals for the space.
Then we get to work with the right tools and expertise. Our state-licensed team handles everything from proper mowing heights (3-4 inches for most Citrus County lawns) to soil aeration, pest control, and irrigation management. You get consistent, professional service that keeps your lawn healthy year-round.

Professional lawn care in Wiscon, FL means more than just mowing. You get comprehensive maintenance that addresses the specific challenges Florida lawns face throughout the year.
Your service includes proper mowing at the right height to prevent turf stress, soil aeration to combat the compacted conditions common in our area, and targeted pest control for chinch bugs and mole crickets that plague local lawns. Irrigation system maintenance ensures you’re not wasting water or money on broken sprinkler heads.
Citrus County’s climate allows for year-round lawn care, which means consistent attention to keep your grass healthy during our wet summers and dry winters. The goal is a lawn that looks great and increases your property value, not just one that gets cut occasionally.
During Florida’s growing season, your lawn should be mowed at least once a week to maintain the proper blade length. For most Citrus County lawns with Bahia or St. Augustine grass, you want to keep the height between 3-4 inches.
The key rule is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade at once. Cutting too much causes turf stress, which leads to more insect problems, lawn disease, and even sunburn damage to your grass.
In Florida’s climate, consistent weekly mowing during peak growing periods keeps your lawn healthier and more resistant to the pests and diseases that commonly affect our area.
The biggest enemies to lawns in our area are chinch bugs, especially in St. Augustine grass, and newly hatched mole crickets that damage Bahia grass lawns. These pests can quickly destroy sections of your lawn if not addressed properly.
Soil compaction is another major issue. When soil becomes too densely packed, grass can’t absorb the nutrients it needs, no matter how much fertilizer you apply. This is why soil aeration is so important for Florida lawns.
Irrigation problems also cause significant issues. A single broken or missing sprinkler head can waste 25,000 gallons of water and cost you nearly $300 over six months while leaving parts of your lawn stressed and brown.
Citrus County utilities recommend only one scheduled irrigation of ½ to ¾ inch per week for most lawns. If your lawn shows signs of stress and rain has been scarce, you can add another ½ to ¾ inch.
The timing matters too. Watering should occur before 10 AM or after 4 PM to reduce evaporation and give grass time to absorb moisture. In Citrus County, odd addresses can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while even addresses water on Thursdays and Sundays.
Many homeowners overwater their lawns, which can actually cause more problems than underwatering. Proper irrigation scheduling and system maintenance are crucial for both lawn health and water conservation.
Grass cutting is just one small part of proper lawn care. Anyone can run a mower across your yard, but professional lawn maintenance addresses the underlying health of your grass and soil.
Real lawn care includes soil testing and aeration, targeted pest control for Florida-specific problems like chinch bugs, proper fertilization timing, weed control, and irrigation system management. It’s about creating conditions where your grass can thrive, not just keeping it short.
The difference shows in your results. A properly maintained lawn stays green and healthy through Florida’s challenging seasons, while a lawn that just gets cut struggles with pests, diseases, brown patches, and constant weed problems.
The difference in pricing usually reflects the difference in service quality and expertise. Companies that charge premium rates typically offer comprehensive lawn care, not just basic mowing services.
Higher-priced services often include state-licensed technicians, proper equipment maintenance, insurance coverage, and the expertise to handle Florida-specific lawn problems correctly. We’re also more likely to use quality products and take the time to do the job right.
When you factor in the cost of equipment, proper insurance, skilled labor, and quality materials, professional lawn care is an investment in your property value. A well-maintained lawn can provide a 217% cost recovery according to industry reports.
Professional lawn care companies with state irrigation licensing can handle both your lawn maintenance and irrigation needs. This is especially important in Florida, where proper water management is crucial for lawn health.
A qualified service can identify and repair broken sprinkler heads, adjust watering schedules for seasonal needs, and ensure your system is operating efficiently. We can also install Water Sense controllers that automatically adjust watering based on weather conditions.
Having your lawn care and irrigation handled by the same licensed professionals ensures better coordination and results. We understand how your grass responds to different watering patterns and can make adjustments that improve both lawn health and water efficiency.
