Experienced Landscaping in Tallahassee, FL 32303 - Ashley Hancocks Lawn Care

Aeration is key for our dense, clay-like soils. We use a core aerator to pull small plugs from your lawn, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This relieves compaction, reduces runoff, and helps your St. Augustine or Bermuda grass develop a deeper, stronger root system to better withstand our summer heat and sporadic droughts.

Absolutely. Exposed palm tree roots are a frequent sight here and can be a tripping hazard. Instead of cutting them, which can harm the tree, we carefully add a thin layer of topsoil and a light mulch cover over the exposed area during our service. This protects the roots from lawn mower damage, helps retain moisture, and allows for safe, even mowing around the tree's base.

Our basic service is designed for local needs and includes mowing, edging, and blowing to keep your yard tidy. More importantly, we perform a seasonal assessment for issues like soil compaction or poor drainage. We'll advise on aeration schedules and proper mowing heights for our common grasses, providing a foundational care plan that promotes lawn health specific to our climate.
