Photo of David N.'s yard after getting lawn care in Gainesville, FL
My wife and I got to meet Christopher today. He did another great job today on both cutting and edging both my front and back yard grass. He was very professional and took time out from his work to talk to me. After cutting my grass, Christopher used a leaf blower to clear both my sidewalks and driveway. I even had to reschedule my service from this past Monday to this Friday which was more convenient for my work schedule. Would highly recommend Christopher.

I am so happy to come home to a beautiful lawn, front and back! Thank you Makeda for making my lawn look so good!! I didn’t know if it was going to get done today due to all the rain but somehow it was!! I love using the app. I get informed when the company is en route and when the job has been completed! I am very happy with this service. I do not have the time or energy to mow my grass! I would definitely recommend!

The work done by the crew was fantastic! They had great attention to detail, edging of the walkways, edging of the driveway. The team is very responsive to my requests. I appreciate what they do very much. It is very helpful with my busy schedule. I have small dogs and the regular mowing of my yard helps so much to keep their allergies under control, especially during the spring and summer seasons!

LawnStarter's Mobile App

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Gainesville

From the summer heat that scorches your grass to the sudden downpours that turn your yard into a swamp, maintaining a lawn in Gainesville can feel like a never-ending struggle. Let LawnStarter step in, we bring professional, easy lawn care solutions to your doorstep.

The humid, often unpredictable climate of North Florida, with its intense sun and heavy rainfalls, can wreak havoc on your lawn's health and appearance.

Whether it's mowing, watering, ensuring proper drainage, or managing Hogtown's diverse soil conditions, our team of local experts will provide customized, year-round care.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Gainesville:

Best Grass Types for Gainesville

While you might be tempted by the lush look of cool-season lawns up north, Gainesville's subtropical climate is a paradise for warm-season grasses. They're perfectly adapted to grow under Florida's sunshine and handle occasional heat waves with ease.

  • Bahiagrass: It can be coarse underfoot, but it resists the Panhandle's dry spells better than other grass types.
  • St. Augustine: It's resilient and handles Gainesville's clay-rich soils. It is also the perfect choice for shady lawns.
  • Zoysiagrass: While it requires more water than bahiagrass, it has great shade tolerance and requires minimal mowing.
  • Bermudagrass: It thrives under full sun, bouncing back quickly from Hogtown's scorching days with its rapid growth.
  • Centipedegrass: It’s heat-tolerant and needs less watering and overall maintenance.

Best Time to Plant Grass Seed: Mid-spring (April to May) to early summer (June) offers the ideal balance of warm soil temperatures and moderate rain for optimal establishment. Late summer can work too, but ensure proper watering through the dry season.

Recommended Mowing Frequency: Different grasses have different growth rates. Generally, though, you need to mow your lawn every five to seven days during the summer and less frequently during the cooler months.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Gainesville

With Gainesville's unique climate and soil conditions, you need to be vigilant against common Florida lawn pests and diseases. These include:

  • Sod Webworms: These caterpillars chew grass blades, leading to thin, brown areas in your lawn.
  • Nematodes: Microscopic worms that damage roots, leading to stunted growth and yellowing.
  • Brown Patch: This disease creates circular brown patches and is prevalent in St. Augustinegrass.
  • Dollar Spot: Identified by small, silver-dollar-sized spots on the lawn.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

LawnStarter’s experts can elevate your entire outdoor experience, crafting spaces that resonate with Hogtown's unique spirit.

  • Landscape Design: Whether you fancy a butterfly garden to match the beauty of Kanapaha Botanical Gardens or a low-maintenance, native Florida landscape, we've got you covered.
  • Hardscaping: Are you dreaming of a patio where you can enjoy a Gator game and BBQ? Or, perhaps you want a fire pit for those mild Florida winter nights. We design and install hardscapes that blend seamlessly with your natural surroundings to increase the functionality of your outdoor space.
  • Irrigation Installation: With Gainesville's unpredictable rain patterns, from summer downpours to dry spells, a well-managed irrigation system is the key to a thriving lawn.

Want more free time to cheer on the Gators or unwind at Depot Park? Let LawnStarter’s pros handle your lawn care needs. Get free quotes instantly and hire a local pro with just a call, click, or tap on our app.

The companies I have worked for just didn't have the passion, care, or take the time to do the yards the way I would, so I started out on my own.

I was not home at the time that the job was completed, but my wife was. Christopher did a great job on both cutting and edging the grass. It looks like he even did some blowing as well because I did not see any debris on my driveway or sidewalk. I also had some growth on my fence that Christopher cleaned up. Overall, I think Christopher did a very good job and I am satisfied with his work on my yard.
