You wake up to a lawn that looks consistently maintained, not patchy or burned from Florida’s intense sun. Your grass stays green through summer heat waves while your neighbors’ lawns turn brown.
The edges are crisp, the height is even, and you never have to worry about whether your lawn guy will show up. Your property value stays protected, and you get your weekends back.
When guests drive up, they notice your lawn first—in a good way. No more embarrassment about overgrown grass or dead spots that make your home look neglected.
Mainstreet Landscaping has been serving Inverness Highlands North and Citrus County since 1995. We’re not a franchise or a call center—we’re a local family business with deep community roots.
We’ve helped neighbors through hurricane cleanups, support local youth programs, and are proud members of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce. When you call, you talk to us, not a receptionist reading from a script.
Our “beyond meticulous” approach means we do the job right the first time. No callbacks, no excuses, no cutting corners to save a few minutes.
First, we assess your specific lawn conditions—grass type, soil issues, problem areas, and your maintenance goals. Florida lawns aren’t one-size-fits-all, and we know the difference between St. Augustine and Bermuda care.
Next, we create a maintenance schedule that works with Florida’s growing seasons. This means proper mowing heights for your grass type, timing that prevents scalping, and attention to seasonal challenges like summer heat stress.
We show up on schedule, complete the work to our “beyond meticulous” standard, and communicate directly with you about any issues we notice. You get consistent, professional results without the hassle of managing the details yourself.

Our lawn care services include regular mowing, edging, trimming, and seasonal maintenance designed specifically for Central Florida’s climate. We understand that St. Augustine grass needs different care than Bermuda, and sandy soil requires different approaches than clay.
In Inverness Highlands North, we’ve learned that consistent moisture management is crucial during summer months, while winter requires different mowing heights to prevent cold damage. We adjust our approach based on your specific grass type and local conditions.
As state-licensed irrigation contractors, we can also address watering issues that often cause lawn problems. Whether it’s dry spots from poor coverage or fungal issues from overwatering, we have the expertise to solve irrigation-related lawn problems that other companies can’t handle.
In Central Florida’s climate, most warm-season grasses need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season (spring through fall). St. Augustine grass, which is popular in Inverness Highlands North, grows quickly in our humid conditions and needs regular attention to prevent scalping.
During summer months, you might need weekly service, while winter allows for every 10-14 days. The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade length at once, which prevents stress and keeps your lawn healthy.
Mainstreet Landscaping adjusts mowing frequency based on your specific grass type and seasonal growth patterns, ensuring your lawn stays healthy year-round without the guesswork.
St. Augustine grass is the most popular choice in Inverness Highlands North because it handles our sandy soil and partial shade well. It’s also salt-tolerant, which helps near the coast, and stays green longer in cooler months.
Bermuda grass works well for high-traffic areas and full sun locations, while Zoysia offers a dense, carpet-like appearance but grows more slowly. Bahia grass is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance but has a coarser texture.
The choice depends on your specific conditions—sun exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance preferences. We can assess your property and recommend the best grass type for your situation, or work with whatever you currently have to keep it healthy.
Florida summers are tough on lawns, with intense heat, high humidity, and frequent afternoon storms creating perfect conditions for fungal diseases and stress. The key is proper mowing height—keeping grass slightly taller provides shade for roots and reduces heat stress.
We also adjust mowing schedules to avoid cutting during the hottest parts of the day, which can shock already-stressed grass. Proper irrigation timing is crucial—early morning watering allows grass to dry before evening, preventing fungal issues.
With nearly 30 years of experience in Citrus County, we know how to keep lawns healthy through Florida’s challenging summers. We monitor for early signs of heat stress, chinch bugs, and fungal problems, addressing issues before they become major problems.
Yes, Florida lawns need year-round attention, though the frequency and focus change with seasons. Winter months require less frequent mowing but more attention to cold protection and preparing for spring growth.
Spring is crucial for fertilization, pre-emergent weed control, and addressing any winter damage. Summer focuses on heat stress management, consistent mowing, and pest monitoring. Fall involves preparing grass for cooler months and addressing any summer damage.
We provide consistent service throughout the year, adjusting our approach based on seasonal needs. This ensures your lawn stays healthy and attractive in every season, not just during peak growing periods.
As a family-owned business since 1995, we provide direct communication with the owners, not call centers or constantly changing crews. When you have a concern, you talk to someone who actually cares about the outcome and has the authority to fix problems immediately.
Our “beyond meticulous” approach means we don’t rush through jobs to maximize daily stops. We take the time to do edging properly, clean up thoroughly, and notice potential problems before they become expensive issues.
We’re also state-licensed irrigation contractors, so we can address watering problems that often cause lawn issues other companies can’t solve. Plus, our deep community roots mean we’re invested in maintaining our reputation with neighbors, not just completing contracts and moving on.
Sandy soil drains quickly but doesn’t hold nutrients well, which is common throughout Citrus County. This means lawns need more frequent, lighter fertilization rather than heavy applications that just wash away with the next rain.
We adjust mowing practices for sandy conditions—keeping grass slightly taller helps shade soil and reduce moisture loss. Proper irrigation becomes even more critical because sandy soil can go from saturated to dry very quickly.
With decades of experience in local soil conditions, we understand how to work with sandy soil rather than fight it. We can recommend soil amendments when needed and adjust maintenance practices to keep your lawn healthy despite challenging soil conditions.
