You’re not spending your weekend wrestling with a mower in 95-degree heat anymore. No more watching brown patches spread across your St. Augustine grass or wondering why your edges look amateur compared to the house next door.
Instead, you pull into your driveway and actually feel good about what you see. Clean lines along the walkway. Grass that’s the right height and actually green. Everything trimmed properly around your mailbox, trees, and flower beds.
Your neighbors notice the difference. Your home value reflects it. And you get to use your outdoor space for what it’s meant for – relaxing, not constantly maintaining it.
We’ve been handling lawns in Citrus Springs since before most of the current neighborhoods were built. That’s nearly three decades of dealing with our sandy soil, surprise three-week droughts, and everything else Central Florida throws at your grass.
We’re family-owned, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who live here too. We know what it’s like trying to keep St. Augustine grass green when it hasn’t rained in weeks, or dealing with chinch bugs that seem to appear overnight.
This isn’t some franchise operation with a call center in another state. We’re your neighbors who’ve built our reputation one lawn at a time in Citrus County.
First, we look at what you’re working with. Every property around Citrus Springs Golf & Country Club has different challenges – some get full sun, others are shaded by oak trees, some have drainage issues from our clay subsoil.
Then we set up a maintenance schedule that makes sense for Florida’s growing patterns. Heavy growth during our humid summers, slower during the cooler months, adjustments for drought conditions that can pop up anytime.
Each visit includes mowing at the proper height for your grass type, professional edging along driveways and walkways, trimming around obstacles, and cleanup. We use commercial-grade equipment and handle the details that separate a professional job from someone just cutting grass.

Your lawn care service covers everything needed to keep your property looking maintained year-round. Professional mowing at the correct height for your specific grass type, crisp edging along all driveways and walkways, and detailed trimming around trees, mailboxes, and landscaping features.
In Citrus Springs, this means understanding how St. Augustine grass behaves in our climate – growing aggressively during summer humidity, slowing down in winter, and needing specific care during drought stress. We adjust mowing heights seasonally and know when to back off frequency during dry spells.
The service also includes managing the details that homeowners often miss. Proper cleanup so grass clippings don’t smother your lawn, trimming that actually follows the natural growth patterns of your landscaping, and timing everything around Florida’s unpredictable weather. You get consistent results whether it’s been raining every day or hasn’t rained in three weeks.
During peak season (May through September), most Citrus Springs lawns need weekly service. St. Augustine grass grows fast in our humidity, and letting it get too long before cutting stresses the root system.
Winter months are different – growth slows significantly, so you might go two weeks or more between cuts. The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade height at once, which helps maintain strong roots in our sandy soil.
Weather plays a big role too. During drought periods, grass growth slows and you can extend intervals. After heavy rains, everything grows faster and might need more frequent attention.
St. Augustine dominates here for good reasons – it handles humidity, tolerates partial shade from our oak trees, and recovers well from stress. Floratam and Palmetto varieties are most common in established neighborhoods.
Bahia grass works if you want lower maintenance. It’s extremely drought-tolerant and actually prefers our sandy soil, though it has a coarser texture and lighter green color than St. Augustine.
Zoysia creates beautiful, dense lawns once established, but it’s slow to fill in initially and more expensive to install. The best choice depends on your shade conditions, how much traffic the area gets, and your maintenance budget.
Sandy soil drains fast but doesn’t hold nutrients, so your lawn needs more frequent, lighter fertilizer applications instead of heavy seasonal treatments. We adjust our approach accordingly.
Mowing height matters more in sandy soil. Keeping grass slightly taller encourages deeper root growth, which helps access water and nutrients that drain quickly through sand. We also time irrigation carefully – early morning reduces evaporation losses.
Leaving grass clippings on the lawn helps too, adding organic matter that improves soil structure over time. For properties with severe drainage issues, we might recommend soil amendments, but proper maintenance practices solve most problems.
Chinch bugs are the main threat to St. Augustine grass in Citrus Springs. They love hot, dry conditions and create irregular brown patches that spread outward. Early detection is crucial – by the time damage is obvious, you’re dealing with a larger infestation.
Grubs are another issue, feeding on grass roots and attracting wildlife that tears up your lawn looking for them. They’re most active late summer through fall in our area.
Regular maintenance helps prevent both problems. Properly watered, fertilized, and mowed grass can withstand pest pressure much better than stressed lawns. We watch for early warning signs during routine service and can recommend treatment when needed.
Hurricane cleanup is part of doing business in Florida. After storms hit Citrus County, regular lawn maintenance takes a back seat to debris removal, damage assessment, and getting properties safe and functional again.
We help with fallen branches, damaged landscaping, and cleanup that goes beyond normal lawn care. The priority is getting your outdoor space back to usable condition as quickly as possible so life can return to normal.
During hurricane season, we also adjust regular service schedules around weather forecasts. There’s no point mowing if a storm’s coming through, but we’ll be back as soon as conditions allow to get everything cleaned up.
Pricing is based on property size, complexity, and service frequency. Most quarter-acre lots in Citrus Springs run $45-60 per visit for complete mowing, edging, and trimming service.
We offer monthly billing for year-round service, which spreads costs evenly and accounts for seasonal variations – more frequent visits during peak growing season, fewer during winter months. Properties with extensive landscaping or challenging terrain may cost more due to additional time requirements.
Military personnel and first responders receive discounts as our way of saying thanks for their service. We provide free estimates and explain exactly what’s included before starting any work – no surprises or hidden fees.
