When Your Property Needs Something Extra
1Storm Aftermath
Tampa Bay gets 7–12 named tropical events per season. Branches, palm fronds, displaced mulch, scattered debris — left on turf for 3–5+ days, anything underneath dies.
2Leaf Drop Season
Brandon’s oak and maple leaf drop peaks October–December. A heavy canopy property loses turf to suffocation if leaves sit too long.
3Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters cause water damage and breed mosquitoes in Florida’s wet climate. Twice-yearly cleaning is cheap insurance against major repairs.
4Tired Beds
Spring and fall cleanups reset your beds, edges, and shrub shaping in a single visit. The fastest way to make a property look maintained again.

Tim’s Guide to Protecting Your Lawn During Storm Season
I’ve been through enough Tampa Bay storm seasons to know what helps and what doesn’t. Here’s what I tell my customers before hurricane season starts.
Before
Secure loose items. Trim dead or weak branches. Clear drainage paths. Turn off irrigation timer. Mow slightly shorter than usual — shorter grass handles wind better.
After
Wait 24–48 hours for standing water to recede and power to be restored. Don’t touch anything near downed power lines. Document damage with photos for insurance. Clear debris from grass within 3–5 days — anything left on turf that long will kill it underneath. Then call Tim.
Recovery
Minor divots recover in 2–4 weeks. Salt spray damage needs deep watering to flush soil. Major bare areas may need re-sodding. Resume mowing when the lawn is dry enough to support equipment.
Off-Season
December–May is when I do preventive tree trimming, gutter clearing, and storm-prep walkthroughs for next year. Cheaper to fix in January than after the first June storm.
