Best Landscaping in Fort Myers, FL 33967 - Alexander & Martin Landscaping

Yes, chinch bugs are a very common cause of brown, dead patches in St. Augustine lawns here in Southwest Florida. They suck the moisture from grass blades, causing severe damage, especially in sunny areas. We start with a thorough inspection to confirm the infestation. Our treatment plan includes safe, effective pest control to eliminate the bugs, followed by aeration and specialized fertilization to help your lawn recover its lush, green health.

Standing water is a common issue due to our flat terrain and sandy soil that can become compacted. The best long-term solution is often a custom drainage system. We assess your yard's specific grading and problem areas to design a solution, which may include French drains, catch basins, or regrading to redirect water flow away from your home and foundation, preventing mosquito breeding and protecting your landscape.

Prevention is key. For chinch bugs, we recommend a proactive lawn health program with proper mowing, watering, and balanced fertilization to keep your grass strong and less susceptible. For drainage, our installations are designed for the long term. We also offer annual maintenance check-ups to inspect for early signs of pests, ensure drainage systems are clear, and adjust your care plan based on the season, keeping your Fort Myers landscape resilient year-round.
