Spring
Wake your lawn up the right way
Start by clearing winter debris and giving the yard one low cut to remove brown tips. Hold off on fertilizer until soil temps consistently hit 65°F — feeding too early just feeds weeds.
Lawn tips
Short, practical tips written for Jacksonville-area lawns. No fluff — just what actually works on our soil and climate.
Start by clearing winter debris and giving the yard one low cut to remove brown tips. Hold off on fertilizer until soil temps consistently hit 65°F — feeding too early just feeds weeds.

A mulching mow chops leaves into free fertilizer. Only bag when the layer is thick enough to smother grass — usually after the last big drop.
Brown isn't dead — it's dormant. Stay off frozen turf, skip heavy fertilizer, and use winter for edging, bed cleanup, and planning spring projects.
