Common Questions
What's the most common cause of patchy grass in North Fort Myers lawns?
In North Fort Myers, patchy grass is often due to a combination of sandy soil that drains too quickly, inconsistent watering, and specific lawn pests or fungal issues common in our humid climate. FM Landscaping starts with a thorough diagnosis of your soil and turf health to identify the root cause, then implements a customized plan that may include soil amendments, proper irrigation adjustments, and targeted treatments to restore a thick, green lawn.
Why are my shrubs dying even with regular watering?
Over-watering in our sandy soil can be just as harmful as under-watering, often leading to root rot. Additionally, many non-native shrubs struggle with the intense sun, heat, and humidity of North Fort Myers. We assess your shrub's health, soil drainage, and sun exposure, then recommend solutions. This often involves replacing struggling plants with drought-tolerant, native species better suited to our local environment and ensuring they are planted and watered correctly.
How can I make my landscaping more resilient to North Fort Myers weather?
Building resilience starts with choosing the right plants. We focus on native and Florida-friendly plants that are adapted to handle our summer heat, seasonal drought, and occasional heavy rains. Our approach includes improving soil health for better water retention, designing efficient irrigation zones, and implementing a proactive maintenance plan. This creates a landscape that not only survives but thrives with less water and fewer chemicals, saving you time and money in the long run.
