Common Grounds Landscaping - Fort Myers's Experienced Landscapers

In Fort Myers, the first thing we recommend checking is your irrigation timer. Hard water can cause mineral buildup, and power surges are common here, both of which can throw timers out of sync. A malfunctioning timer leads to over or under-watering, stressing your grass. We can perform a full system audit to diagnose timer issues, fix any broken heads or valves, and set an optimal watering schedule for our local climate to conserve water and keep your lawn healthy.

Absolutely. Salt spray and soil salinity are common issues for Fort Myers homes near waterways. We can assess the damage and recommend a landscape plan using native, salt-tolerant plants like sea grape, cocoplum, and Muhly grass that are adapted to our conditions. Solutions may also include strategic replanting, improving drainage, and applying soil amendments to help existing plants recover. Our goal is to build a resilient, beautiful landscape that can withstand our coastal environment.

Yes, proactive maintenance is key. Our Fort Myers-focused maintenance plans include seasonal irrigation system checks to ensure timers and sensors are working correctly, especially before our dry season. We also provide soil testing, targeted fertilization to combat salt stress, and pruning of salt-damaged foliage. Regular care from our local experts helps prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs, saving you water and protecting your landscape investment year-round.
