Cortez is a special place to care for a lawn. The salty breeze, sandy soil, and constant Florida sun can make the grass look amazing one week and worn out the next. Anyone who lives here knows how quickly things can change after a stretch of heat, a few storms, or a week without rain.
Because the soil is sandy and drains fast, Cortez lawns need fertilizer that doesn’t wash out right away. We use blends that feed slowly and consistently, giving the grass a more even color and stronger roots.
The mix of heat and humidity gives weeds a big advantage here. We block new weeds early in the season and treat existing ones with spot applications so we’re not overdoing the chemicals.
If the yard feels tight underfoot or starts looking patchy after long hot weeks, aeration helps open the soil so water and nutrients can reach deeper. Overseeding adds thickness where the lawn needs it most.
Cortez gets its fair share of Florida pests, chinch bugs, grubs, armyworms, sod webworms. They can spread fast once they get a foothold. We treat them early and use options that are safe for families with pets.
Some lawns in the area drift acidic over time. When that happens, lime helps balance the soil so the turf can take in nutrients properly.
Warm-season grasses handle the sun, salt, and heat best:
St. Augustine – strong against salt and shade
Zoysia – soft, dense, and great for high-traffic yards
Bermuda – thrives in full sun
Centipede – low-maintenance for sandy areas
Bahia – durable for larger, open spaces
