Professional St. Augustine Lawn Care in Tampa
Why St. Augustine grass turns yellow, and the year-round care that keeps it green
St. Augustine grass is the most common grass in Tampa Bay, and the most misunderstood. When it turns yellow, most homeowners add fertilizer or water, and that often makes it worse. We find the real cause first, then build your St. Augustine lawn care around what the grass needs in Tampa's climate and sandy soil.
Why Is My St. Augustine Grass Turning Yellow?
In Tampa, yellow St. Augustine grass usually comes down to one of four things: low iron, chinch bugs, fungus, or too much or too little water. Each one needs a different fix, so guessing wastes time and money. Our program combines feeding, weed control and pest protection on a schedule built for how St. Augustine grows here.
