Thomas Hicks Landscaping & Irrigation | Landscaping Services in Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

In Santa Rosa Beach's humid coastal environment, lawn fungus requires a targeted approach. We start with a thorough inspection to identify the specific fungus type, then apply appropriate fungicides at the right time of year. We also recommend cultural practices like proper mowing height, improved drainage, and balanced fertilization to prevent recurrence. Many local lawns benefit from aeration to reduce thatch buildup where fungi thrive.

For most hedge varieties in Santa Rosa Beach, we recommend trimming 2-3 times during the growing season (spring through fall) to maintain shape and health. Fast-growing species like wax myrtle or privet may need more frequent attention. Regular trimming prevents overgrowth that can block sunlight, harbor pests, and become difficult to manage. We can create a customized schedule based on your specific plants and desired appearance.

Absolutely. Our local expertise allows us to recommend salt-tolerant, disease-resistant plants suited to our sandy soil and humid climate. We implement proper irrigation scheduling to avoid overwatering (which encourages fungus) and design landscapes with good airflow to reduce fungal pressure. For existing lawns, we offer soil testing and customized maintenance plans that address Santa Rosa Beach's unique growing conditions year-round.
