Landscaping Sarasota FL | Call Oceans Edge Lawn Service

Our specialized lawn care program includes soil testing to monitor salt levels, deep watering schedules to help flush salts from the root zone, and applications of gypsum or other soil amendments that counteract salt. We also recommend and maintain salt-tolerant turf and plant species that are better suited to our coastal environment, building resilience right into your landscape.

Exposed palm roots are a common issue in Sarasota due to wind and erosion. It's important not to simply cover them with soil, as this can suffocate the tree. Oceans Edge uses a professional technique called ""top dressing"" with a specific sandy mix that allows for air and water exchange while stabilizing the root zone. We assess the cause, often adjusting irrigation or adding ground cover plants to prevent further erosion.

Absolutely. Lawns near saltwater need extra care. We mow at a slightly higher height to promote deeper root growth and reduce stress, making the grass more resilient. Our fertilization programs use products with higher potassium levels, which helps plants manage salt stress and improves overall hardiness. We avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers that can promote tender growth more susceptible to salt burn.
