MELBOURNE FLORIDA LAWN CARE

Lawn care can be challenge no matter where you live in the country.  Melbourne Florida lawn care is certainly no exception.  Many people believe because we have ample rain and plenty of sunshine, grass will just naturally be healthy.  More times than not, this isn’t actually what happens.  One of the most important decisions you will make is what type of grass to choose.  In this article, we will cover the most popular type of grass in Florida, St. Augustine Grass.

SUNLIGHT IS NO PROBLEM

St. Augustine grass is the most popular choice in Florida because it looks beautiful if properly cared for and can handle direct sunlight.  When you are thinking about Melbourne Florida Lawn Care you definitely want to choose a grass type that can handle the sun exposure unless you have a thick tree canopy.  St Augustine grass in most parts of Melbourne, FL will be the right choice.

THRIVES IN A VARIETY OF SOIL TYPES

Another reason we love St. Augustine grass for Melbourne Florida lawn care is that is thrives in a variety of soil types.  Fox Outdoor Solutions can help you determine your soil’s PH which is a large factor on how healthy your lawn will be.  Because St. Augustine grass can thrive in so many different soil types, it is generally a safe choice.  Once you have planted your sod you want to make sure it will take so you do not have to continue to invest money in  replacing areas that die.

PROPER CARE REQUIRED

Like all grasses in Florida, proper care by a licensed professional is the best way to keep your looking amazing!  With St. Augustine grass you need to make sure there is enough water to keep it looking great.  An irrigation system is ideal for ease of care.  This type of grass does thrive with the proper mowing schedule and water, but it can survive droughts too.  This makes it a good choice for central Florida.  We recommend keeping the mowing height to 3.5 to 4 inches for the optimal appearance.
