Lawn care FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Wellington lawn care.
Answers to the most common questions Wellington homeowners ask about premium lawn service, St. Augustine grass care, and estate lawn maintenance.
How often should I mow my lawn in Wellington, FL?
In Wellington's subtropical climate, most St. Augustine lawns need mowing every 7 to 10 days during peak growth (May through October) and every 10 to 14 days during slower growth (November through April). We tailor the schedule to your specific grass type, soil, irrigation, and sun exposure.
What is the ideal grass height for St. Augustine in Florida?
UF/IFAS recommends maintaining St. Augustine grass at 3.5 to 4 inches. That height shade the soil, reduce water loss, and discourage weeds. Our precision mowing keeps you right in that sweet spot every visit.
How do I know if my lawn needs aeration?
If your lawn feels spongy, water pools on the surface, or grass thins despite good care, your soil may be compacted. Wellington's sandy soil can compact from foot traffic, equipment, and natural settling. We recommend annual core aeration for high-traffic estates.
What is the best time to fertilize a lawn in Wellington, FL?
The primary fertilization season for St. Augustine in Wellington runs from April through October, with peak applications in June and September. We create a custom fertilization schedule based on your soil test, grass variety, and seasonal weather patterns.
How can I stop Bermuda grass from invading my St. Augustine lawn?
Bermudagrass is one of the most common invaders of St. Augustine lawns in South Florida. We address Bermudagrass through targeted spot treatments, proper mowing height, and cultural practices that favor St. Augustine density over Bermudagrass encroachment.
Do I need hurricane lawn care in Wellington, FL?
Yes. Wellington's hurricane season (June through November) demands proactive lawn care. We offer pre-storm blade sharpening, debris clearing, and post-hurricane cleanup and recovery plans to get your lawn back on track after a storm.
