Sun State Landscaping - Fort Myers's Trusted Landscapers

Our humid climate makes mulch beds a prime spot for weeds. We recommend a professional-grade pre-emergent herbicide application before mulching, which creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating. Using the right type and depth of mulch, like cypress or pine bark nuggets, also suppresses growth. Our team can assess your beds and implement a preventative plan to keep them clean and healthy.

Chinch bugs cause irregular yellow or brown patches in St. Augustine grass that don't improve with watering. You might see the small, black-and-white bugs themselves in the thatch. Effective treatment requires a targeted insecticide application, often needing multiple treatments due to their lifecycle. We provide thorough inspections and use professional-grade products to eliminate the infestation and help your lawn recover.

A successful plan addresses our distinct seasons. It includes pre-emergent weed control in early spring, consistent fertilization and insect monitoring (especially for chinch bugs) through the hot, wet summer, aeration if needed in the fall, and proper winterization. We create customized schedules based on your grass type and specific lawn conditions to promote deep-root health and resilience against local pests and diseases.
