Experienced Landscaping Services in Jacksonville, FL 32218 - Allen’s Lawn Service

We use a multi-step approach tailored to our local climate. First, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide specifically formulated for Florida weeds before they sprout. Then, we ensure a proper mulch depth of 2-3 inches to block sunlight and suppress weed growth. For existing weeds, we carefully remove them by hand or with targeted treatments to protect your desirable plants, keeping your beds clean and healthy year-round.

Bare spots here are often caused by heavy foot traffic, pet urine, fungal diseases common in our humidity, or poor soil. Our fix starts with diagnosing the root cause. We then prepare the soil, select the right grass seed or sod for our North Florida climate (like St. Augustine or Zoysia), and use proper seeding or patching techniques. We also provide guidance on watering and care to ensure the new grass establishes strongly and blends seamlessly with your existing lawn.

For our area, consistency is key. We recommend a core program of fertilization and weed control every 6-8 weeks from early spring through fall, as our growing season is long. Pre-emergent for weeds should be applied in late winter and again in early fall. Addressing bare spots is best done in the spring or early fall for optimal growth. We create a customized schedule for your lawn, factoring in rainfall and temperature, to provide the right care at the right time.
