Mercado Lawn Service - Lehigh Acres's Certified Landscaping Services

Chinch bug damage often appears as irregular yellow or brown patches that spread quickly, especially in sunny, hot areas. The grass may feel straw-like and won't green up with watering. At Mercado Lawn Service, we start with a thorough inspection to confirm an infestation. We then apply targeted, effective treatments to eliminate the bugs at all life stages and recommend a recovery plan, including proper watering and aeration, to help your St. Augustine or Zoysia grass bounce back strong.

Standing water is a common issue in Lehigh Acres due to our soil composition and rain patterns. We first assess the cause, which is often improper grading or compacted soil. Our solutions can include regrading to create a gentle slope away from your home, installing French drains or dry wells to redirect water, and core aeration to improve soil absorption. Our goal is to create a long-term drainage solution that protects your lawn's health and your property's foundation.

Our deep local knowledge is key. We understand the specific grass types common here, our seasonal pest cycles, and the area's typical soil and drainage challenges. We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we create customized plans that consider your yard's specific sun exposure, soil condition, and the local issues like chinch bugs and summer thunderstorms. We're your neighbors, and we're committed to solutions that work for our unique environment.
