Jacksonville Lawn Care Needs

Jacksonville, FL is a Southern town with unique and challenging lawn care needs. With over 333,866 households and an average yard size of 8,156 sq. ft., there’s a lot of lawn to maintain. Luckily, the local Jacksonville TruGreen office can help a fellow Floridian out.

Jacksonville is the largest city in the United States by size with over 840 square miles of city space. Like most other cities in Florida, Jacksonville is also known for its high summer temperatures, which regularly climb into the 90-degree range during the months of July and August. While these heat waves might be fantastic for a day at the beach, they can also lead to Jacksonville’s most common lawn problem—dry, dying grass.

At TruGreen, we know that having a healthy, lush lawn is important to Jacksonville’s homeowners. That’s why we offer each of our clients a customized lawn care plan that accounts for the unique needs of their climate and grass type. From targeted weed control to fertilizer applications that can help your lawn survive the sweltering summer season, we do it all.

From fertilization and lime application in the winter to targeted weed control and tree/shrub fertilization in the summer, TruGreen PhD certified specialists have the expertise to give Jacksonville residents a vibrant and healthy lawn every season of the year. Having a lush green lawn in the spring and summer requires work throughout the year, not just during the seasons where you get to enjoy it the most.

Our team knows just what your yard needs because they’re local. They understand what works in Jacksonville and can take local climate, soil, and other factors unique to Jacksonville to create a custom lawn care plan. For example, the most common grass types in Jacksonville are Bahia, Bermuda, and centipede grass. Our local experts know these (along with other types that may present) and know what your yard needs and how to care for it. Each TruGreen plan is tailored to your yard’s specific soil condition, grass type, and your usage.

Plus, our lawn care plans come with a Healthy Lawn Guarantee®, which gives our TruGreen Jacksonville customers confidence that when you purchase one of our lawn care plans, you will be satisfied with the results.

Jacksonville, FL is part of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a, which means the average annual minimum Winter temperature is 20 to 25 degrees (F). Trees and shrubs in Jacksonville can be affected by insects and pests so proactive tree and shrub care is recommended to avoid costly tree trimming and removal later on. Florida’s annual precipitation of 54.5 inches ranks 5th in the country, while its average annual temperature of 70.7°F ranks 1st in the country. As a result, Jacksonville residents often choose to plant begonia, chrysanthemum, and cosmos as well as ornemental grass, ferns, and hakone grass in their yards. This humid climate for Jacksonville leaves lawns exposed to drought and pests like billbugs, southern chinch bug, spittlebugs, and asian citrus psylids, meaning that consistent lawn and pest treatment is crucial for keeping trees and lawns healthy. Below are additional climate statistics to keep in mind for your Jacksonville lawn care needs:
