New World Nursery | Experienced Landscapers in Homestead, FL

We recommend native ground covers like sunshine mimosa or perennial peanut that naturally suppress weeds while thriving in our South Florida climate. We also suggest using coarse pine bark mulch at proper depth (2-3 inches) and installing quality landscape fabric beneath. Our team can help you select drought-tolerant plants that create dense coverage, leaving little room for weeds to establish.

Chinch bug damage appears as irregular yellow patches that turn brown and die, often starting near concrete edges. Bring a sample to our nursery, and we'll help confirm identification. We recommend integrated approaches including proper irrigation (deep, infrequent watering), maintaining healthy soil pH, and using chinch bug-resistant grass varieties like Floratam St. Augustine. We carry appropriate organic and conventional treatments when necessary.

Successful Homestead landscaping starts with proper plant selection, soil preparation, and maintenance routines. We emphasize using native and adapted plants, implementing efficient irrigation systems, and regular soil testing. Our experts can help you design layered landscapes with proper mulch depth, adequate plant spacing, and strategic placement to minimize pest habitats and weed pressure while conserving water.
