Carter's Landscaping | Licensed Landscaping in Homestead, FL

In our hot, humid climate, chinch bugs cause irregular yellow or brown patches that spread quickly, especially in sunny St. Augustine grass. You might see the small black-and-white bugs themselves near the soil. Carter's provides professional diagnosis and targeted insecticide treatments to eliminate the infestation, followed by a recovery plan to nurse your lawn back to health.

Bare spots in Homestead are often due to compacted soil, wear, or past pest damage. We assess the underlying cause and typically recommend core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with appropriate grass varieties and applying a balanced fertilizer. This approach encourages deep root growth and fills in patches for a uniform, dense lawn.

Prevention starts with consistent, proper care. We advise on a local maintenance schedule including correct mowing heights, deep but infrequent watering in the early morning, and seasonal fertilization. Our preventative treatment plans can also help protect against chinch bugs. Think of us as your partner for long-term lawn health in Homestead.
