Practical landscaping notes for South Florida properties.
A thinned canopy lets wind pass through instead of catching it. The work is cheap in June and expensive in September.
A system almost never fails all at once. It loses one head, then a zone, and the brown patch shows up two weeks after the cause.
It is rarely the grass. It is the edges, the rotation, and whether anyone blows the lot down before they leave.
Cutting the growth down is the easy half. What is left in the ground decides whether the lot is usable.
