Grass types in Tampa

Most established Tampa lawns are St. Augustine Floratam, with Bahia holding on in older South Tampa alleys and unirrigated strips. We cut Floratam at 3.5 to 4 inches so the runners shade out weeds instead of scalping down to sand.

Seasonal schedule

Growth takes off in April and stays fast through the September rains, when weekly service is the only way to keep clippings from matting. From late November through February, bi-weekly is usually enough.

Local property notes

Older Tampa blocks have narrow alley access, live oak canopy and raised curbs, so we bring walk-behind equipment rather than a ride-on when the gate is tight. Oak leaf and acorn drop in late winter is heavier here than almost anywhere else in the county.
