    Lawn care in Jacksonville presents both opportunities and challenges due to Florida's warm climate and sandy soils. The typical Jacksonville lawn has very sandy soil (92%), which means water and nutrients move through quickly. This affects how you plan your lawn fertilizer schedule and watering routine.

    Your Jacksonville lawn care plan should focus on:

    • Working with your soil's slightly acidic pH of 6.6, which is good for warm-season grasses
    • Managing sandy soil that needs regular feeding with a custom nutrient plan
    • Checking soil nutrients with a soil test to track phosphorus, potassium, and iron levels

    The average Jacksonville lawn is 3,240 square feet and grows warm-season grasses like bermudagrass and St. Augustinegrass. These grasses thrive in Florida's climate when given proper lawn care. Set up a seasonal plan that includes:

    1. Regular mowing during peak growing season
    2. Small, frequent feedings rather than heavy applications
    3. Early morning watering to prevent moisture loss

      Jacksonville, Florida FAQs

      The average cost of professional lawn care in Jacksonville ranges from $150-250 per month for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season, delivering fertilizer and optional weed control products directly to your door - a more affordable alternative to traditional lawn services.

      For Jacksonville lawns, apply fertilizer 4-6 times per year, focusing on the active growing season from March through October. Space applications 6-8 weeks apart, with the first application in early spring when grass begins actively growing and the final application in early fall.

      For Jacksonville lawns:

      • Mow St. Augustine or Zoysia grass at 3-4 inches high
      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, about 3/4 inch per session
      • Control weeds through spot treatment rather than blanket applications
      • Maintain longer grass length during summer to protect from heat stress
      • Reduce watering during winter dormancy period
      • Avoid fertilizing during winter dormancy (December-February)

      These practices promote deeper root growth and a more resilient lawn while minimizing environmental impact.

      The best time to water lawns in Jacksonville is early morning between 4-10am. This allows water to soak into soil before evaporation and helps prevent fungal diseases. Avoid evening watering which can leave grass wet overnight. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root growth.

      Here are key maintenance tips for Jacksonville lawns:

      • Aerate compacted soil in spring or fall
      • Remove no more than 1/3 of grass blade when mowing
      • Keep mower blades sharp to prevent grass damage
      • Leave grass clippings on lawn to return nutrients to soil
      • Address pest issues quickly through targeted treatment
      • Test soil annually to monitor nutrient needs

      These practices help build a resilient lawn while working with nature.

      The most common warm-season grasses for Jacksonville are St. Augustine and Zoysia. St. Augustine tolerates shade and salt, making it ideal for coastal areas. Zoysia creates a dense, drought-resistant turf that handles heavy foot traffic well. Both grasses thrive in Jacksonville's hot, humid climate.

      In Jacksonville, prepare your lawn for summer by:

      1. Increasing mowing height to 3-4 inches in late spring
      2. Testing soil and applying appropriate fertilizer
      3. Checking irrigation system for proper coverage
      4. Treating any existing weeds before they spread
      5. Monitoring for pests like chinch bugs which thrive in hot weather
      6. Maintaining consistent watering schedule of 1-2 times per week

      These steps help your lawn develop heat tolerance and drought resistance for summer stress.

      Common lawn pests in Jacksonville include chinch bugs, sod webworms, mole crickets, and grubs. Manage these through:

      1. Regular lawn monitoring for early detection
      2. Maintaining proper mowing height and watering practices
      3. Spot treating affected areas with targeted pest control
      4. Promoting healthy grass growth through proper fertilization
      5. Avoiding overwatering which can attract pests

      Sunday offers targeted pest control products that can be integrated into your lawn care routine while minimizing environmental impact.
