Sarasota lawns look amazing when everything lines up good rain, the right soil, and steady care. But the same warm weather that keeps everything growing can also bring weeds, pests, and stressed-out patches almost overnight. If you’ve lived here long enough, you already know how fast a healthy lawn can start slipping. At Farrow Pest Services, we build lawn care plans around the way Sarasota lawns really behave, not the way they “should” behave on paper.
Sarasota soil doesn’t hold nutrients for long, especially with all the sand and heat. Our fertilizer blends feed gradually and help your lawn keep color and thickness, even during hot stretches.
Weeds move quickly here. Once the humidity settles in, you’ll see them pop up in clusters. We use pre-emergent to stop new weeds before they show and spot-treat the ones that sneak through. Simple, clean, effective.
Some lawns get compacted fast, especially after heavy rains or foot traffic. Aeration opens the soil back up so the roots can actually breathe. Overseeding thickens thin areas and helps your lawn bounce back after summer.
Chinch bugs, grubs, and armyworms are part of life in Sarasota. They can spread quickly once they start feeding. We treat them early and use options that are safe for families with pets and kids.
Certain Sarasota neighborhoods deal with soil acidity. When the grass struggles to absorb nutrients, lime helps level out the pH so the lawn can grow the way it’s supposed to.
These warm-season grasses handle Sarasota’s mix of salt air, heat, and sandy soil best:
St. Augustine – thrives near the coast
Zoysia – soft and dense
Bermuda – loves direct sunlight
Centipede – great for sandy areas
Bahia – durable for bigger properties
