Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
Lawn care can be challenging if you live in South Florida. The area’s excessive heat, as well as its humid conditions, can be harsh to your turfgrass. If you want to maintain a healthy, lush, green lawn year-round, consider enlisting the help of experienced professionals. In the meantime, check out the best ways to care for your lawn.
First, you’ll need to choose a heat-tolerant kind of grass. Your options would include Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass, Bahia grass, and St. Augustine grass. In case you’re curious, most of the commercial and residential properties within the area use St. Augustine grass because of the fact that it doesn’t require much maintenance.
Did you know that too much water on your turfgrass can cause an insect attack or turf disease? For this reason, you’ll need to cut back the amount you water your turfgrass throughout the rainy season. If the blades are folding in half, this means that the turfgrass is trying to conserve water and you need to water it. It’s best to water the lawn up to 3 times a week when the weather’s warm. During the winter season, you’ll need to water it every 10 to 14 days.
Your grass grows faster during the rainy season that’s why it’s extremely important to keep the grass under control by mowing the lawn on a regular basis. Doing so will not only keep it healthy and at a reasonable height, but it will also get rid of pests.
Nutritional balance is extremely important for your lawn. Keep it nourished by using slow-releasing, high nitrogen fertilizers. Slow-releasing fertilizers will prevent any damaging effects.
