Frequently Asked Questions
How do you fix compacted soil common in Nokomis lawns, and why is it important?
We use core aeration to relieve soil compaction, a frequent issue here from construction and heavy use. This process pulls small plugs of soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach grassroots, which is crucial for developing a deep, healthy root system that can better withstand drought and stress.
What plants do you recommend for areas near the coast to prevent salt damage?
We recommend and install salt-tolerant native and adapted plants like Saw Palmetto, Sea Grape, and Muhly Grass. These plants are naturally equipped to handle the salt spray from our Gulf breezes, requiring less maintenance and providing year-round beauty without the constant damage and replacement needed for less suitable species.
Can you help with a landscape design that addresses both drainage and salt exposure?
Absolutely. Our designs often incorporate strategic grading for proper drainage to prevent waterlogging and select specific plant palettes for different zones based on exposure to salt spray and soil conditions. This integrated approach solves multiple common Nokomis landscaping problems at once.
