Nates Lawn Mowers - Riverview's Top-Rated Landscaping

Standing water is a common issue in our area that can drown grass roots and promote disease. Our lawn care approach includes evaluating your yard's grading and drainage. We can perform core aeration to improve soil compaction and water absorption, and recommend solutions like adjusting sprinkler schedules or installing simple drainage channels to redirect excess water away from your lawn, protecting its health.

Chinch bugs cause irregular yellow or brown patches that spread quickly, especially in sunny St. Augustine grass. If the grass blades pull up easily and you see small, black-and-white bugs at the soil line, you likely have an infestation. Our treatment involves applying targeted, effective insecticides at the right time to eliminate the bugs, followed by a recovery plan of proper watering and fertilization to help your lawn regrow strong and healthy.

Prevention is key. We recommend a consistent schedule that includes mowing at the proper height for your grass type (often higher for St. Augustine), deep but infrequent watering in the early morning to strengthen roots and discourage pests, and regular fertilization to maintain vigor. Our seasonal lawn care plans are designed specifically for the Riverview climate to build a dense, healthy turf that naturally resists chinch bugs and better handles drainage challenges.
