Lawn care in St. Johns County is a year-round job. St. Augustine grass, the dominant turf from Julington Creek to Crescent Beach, needs mowing weekly from April through October and still grows through most winters. Chinch bugs, sod webworms, fungus from summer rain and nematodes in sandy soil all push homeowners toward a service that knows local turf. Water is a factor too. St. Johns River Water Management District sets irrigation day limits, Nocatee and some other communities use reclaimed water, and well water in Hastings, Elkton and rural St. Johns stains sidewalks and houses with iron. HOAs in Nocatee, Palencia, World Golf Village and Ponte Vedra enforce lawn standards and plant palettes. Anyone applying fertilizer or pesticides for pay needs a Florida Department of Agriculture license, so ask who treats your lawn.
Separate mowing from chemical treatments
Mowing crews do not need a state license, but anyone applying fertilizer or pesticide for pay needs a Florida Department of Agriculture license. Ask who treats the lawn and for their license number. Many homeowners use one company for mowing and a separate licensed company for fertilization and pest control.
Ask about St. Augustine grass experience
St. Augustine grass is cut tall, around 3.5 to 4 inches, and scalping it invites weeds and chinch bugs. A crew that treats it like northern turf will ruin it in one summer. Ask what height they cut and how they handle fungus during the rainy season.
Check they know your HOA and water rules
Nocatee, Palencia, World Golf Village and most Ponte Vedra neighborhoods have written landscape standards and approved plant lists. St. Johns River Water Management District also limits irrigation days. A local company will know both and keep you out of violation letters.
Get a written weekly scope
Weekly service should spell out mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing, and how often beds are weeded and shrubs trimmed. Many disputes come from assumptions about hedge trimming and bed care that were never written down.
Confirm insurance
Mowers throw rocks through windows and crews damage irrigation heads and AC lines. Ask for a certificate of liability insurance. Reputable companies will send one without fuss.
