You know that feeling when you drive up to a perfectly maintained lawn? When neighbors actually stop to compliment your property? That’s what happens when your grass gets the consistent, professional care it needs to thrive in Florida’s challenging climate.
No more weekend mornings spent pushing a mower in sweltering heat. No more guessing whether you’re watering too much or too little. No more watching brown patches spread while you wonder what went wrong.
Instead, you get the satisfaction of a lawn that looks professionally maintained year-round. Your property value stays strong, your curb appeal stays sharp, and your free time stays yours.
Since 1995, we’ve been the family-owned business Coleman residents call when they want lawn care done right the first time. We’re not the biggest company in Citrus County, but we’re the one that shows up consistently and delivers the meticulous quality we’re known for.
We understand Coleman’s unique challenges – the sandy soil that drains too fast, the humidity that breeds fungus, the pests that thrive year-round. We’ve been solving these problems for nearly three decades, and we’ve built our reputation on results that last.
When you work with us, you’re not just getting lawn care. You’re getting peace of mind from a local business that’s invested in this community for the long haul.

Our team shows up when scheduled with professional equipment and the experience to handle Coleman’s specific growing conditions. We mow to the right height for your grass type, edge clean lines, and clean up thoroughly so your property looks sharp.
Between visits, we keep an eye on developing issues and communicate directly with you about anything that needs attention. No surprises, no runarounds – just consistent care that keeps your lawn looking its best season after season.

Your lawn care service includes professional mowing, precise edging, thorough cleanup, and ongoing monitoring for pest and disease issues. We adjust our approach based on Coleman’s seasonal changes and your grass type’s specific needs.
Florida’s climate means your lawn faces unique challenges that generic lawn care can’t handle. Our team understands how Coleman’s sandy soil affects water retention, how humidity creates fungal pressure, and how to time treatments for maximum effectiveness.
We also coordinate with our irrigation and landscaping services when your lawn needs more comprehensive attention. Whether it’s upgrading your sprinkler system or addressing drainage issues, we handle it all under one roof so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
Most lawns in Coleman need mowing every 7-10 days during growing season, but the exact timing depends on your grass type and current weather conditions. St. Augustine grass, common in our area, grows faster during summer months and may need weekly attention.
We adjust mowing frequency based on actual growth rates rather than sticking to a rigid schedule. During Florida’s rainy season, grass grows quickly and needs more frequent cutting. In cooler months, we might extend the interval to avoid stressing dormant grass.
The key is never cutting more than one-third of the blade length at once, which keeps your grass healthy and reduces stress that can lead to disease problems.
Florida’s year-round growing season, sandy soil, and high humidity create challenges you won’t find in most other states. Our sandy soil drains quickly but doesn’t hold nutrients well, requiring more frequent fertilization with specific formulations.
The combination of heat, humidity, and frequent summer rains creates perfect conditions for fungal diseases like brown patch and dollar spot. Timing treatments and managing moisture levels becomes critical to preventing these problems.
Pest pressure is also year-round here. Chinch bugs, grubs, and other lawn pests don’t get knocked back by winter freezes, so monitoring and prevention become ongoing necessities rather than seasonal concerns.
Sandy soil requires a different approach than the clay or loam soils found in other regions. We use slow-release fertilizers that won’t wash away with our frequent rains, and we adjust watering schedules to account for faster drainage.
Organic matter becomes crucial in sandy soil to improve water retention and nutrient availability. We often recommend overseeding with appropriate grass varieties and incorporating soil amendments that help build better soil structure over time.
Our irrigation expertise also comes into play here. Proper sprinkler timing and coverage patterns make a huge difference in how well your lawn utilizes water and nutrients in Coleman’s sandy conditions.
St. Augustine grass is the most popular choice in Coleman because it handles our heat, humidity, and sandy soil well. Zoysia is another excellent option that’s more drought-tolerant and requires less frequent mowing once established.
Bahia grass works well for larger areas where you want lower maintenance, though it has a coarser texture. Bermuda grass can work but requires more intensive management to look its best in our climate.
The key is choosing the right variety for your specific conditions – sun exposure, soil drainage, and how much maintenance you want to do. We help you select grass types that will thrive long-term rather than just survive.
Disease prevention starts with proper cultural practices – correct mowing height, appropriate watering schedules, and ensuring good air circulation. We avoid watering in the evening when moisture sits on grass blades overnight.
Fungicide applications are sometimes necessary, but timing is everything. We monitor weather conditions and apply preventive treatments before disease pressure builds up, which is much more effective than trying to cure problems after they start.
Proper fertilization also plays a role. Over-fertilizing with nitrogen can make grass more susceptible to disease, so we use balanced approaches that promote healthy growth without creating vulnerability.
Lawn care costs in Coleman typically range from $40-80 per visit for basic mowing and maintenance, depending on property size and specific requirements. Larger properties or those needing additional services like pest control or fertilization will be higher.
We provide upfront pricing based on your actual property and needs rather than generic estimates. Factors that affect cost include lawn size, grass type, terrain difficulty, and how often you want service during different seasons.
Most of our Coleman clients find that professional lawn care costs less than they expected when they factor in equipment, fuel, and time savings. We’re happy to provide a specific quote based on your property’s requirements.
