A great yard isn't luck. It's a standard, held every week.

Sandhill was started by two Oviedo neighbors who were tired of lawn services that showed up whenever, mowed too low in July, and left the edges ragged. So we built the opposite: a small, local crew that treats your grass like it's our own.

Central Florida is hard on a landscape. Sandy soil, brutal summer sun, afternoon storms, and the occasional hurricane. We know this ground — the St. Augustine and Bahia that actually thrive here, how to cut it, when to water it, and how to make a front yard look effortless year-round.

The result is a yard you stop thinking about. No more weekend spent fighting the mower in the heat, no more guilt about the beds you meant to weed. You get your Saturdays back, and the best-looking lawn on the block — kept that way, week after week, by people you actually know.

Everything your yard needs, from one local crew.

Pick a single job or hand us the whole property. Either way you get the same crew, the same standard, and a straight answer on price. Most homeowners start with the mowing and add the rest once they see how we work.

01

Lawn mowing & maintenance

The backbone of everything. We mow at the right height for the season — never scalped in the heat — string-trim every border, edge the walks and driveway to a clean line, and blow the clippings off your hardscape before we leave. Nothing left behind but stripes.

Weekly through the growing season, bi-weekly in the cooler months, on a route you can set your watch by. Your gate stays latched and your pets stay safe, because it's the same faces every visit. And we mulch the clippings back into a healthy lawn to feed it for free — bagging only when the grass got long or the leaves are falling.

02

Landscape design & installation

Whether it's a tired front bed or a full curb-appeal makeover, we design with Florida-friendly plants that look good on move-in day and better in three years. Crotons, viburnum, muhly grass, dwarf palmetto, drift roses — layered for color in every season and grouped by how thirsty they are.

You'll get a clear plan and a fixed price before a single shovel hits the sand. Then we install it — soil prep, plants, edging, and mulch — and show you exactly how to keep it looking new. If you'd like, we'll fold it straight into a maintenance plan so it never slips back.

Mulch & bed care

Fresh mulch is the fastest way to make a whole property look cared-for. We pull weeds, cut a clean spade edge between bed and lawn, and lay premium hardwood, pine bark, or pine straw at the right depth — enough to hold moisture and choke out weeds without smothering your roots.

Most Oviedo yards want a refresh once or twice a year. We'll tell you honestly which beds actually need it and which can wait, so you're not paying for mulch you don't need. And we keep it pulled back from trunks and stems, where piled-up mulch would only invite rot and pests.

Palm & tree trimming

Sabal palms, queen palms, live oaks and crepe myrtles all need a knowledgeable hand — and the wrong cut can hurt a tree for years. We trim to ANSI standards: dead and hanging fronds removed, seed pods cleared before they drop, canopies thinned for wind and light. Never "hurricane cut" to a pencil.

We work off ladders and lifts, haul every frond and branch away, and leave the base of the tree cleaner than we found it. For anything over the roofline, we bring the right gear and the right insurance. Late spring, before hurricane season, is the smart time to book it.

  • Canopy thinning

Irrigation & sprinklers

A lush lawn starts underground. We install and repair sprinkler and drip systems, chase down broken heads and leaks, and set smart controllers that follow Seminole County watering rules automatically — so you stay green without wasting a drop or drawing a fine.

Twice-a-year tune-ups catch the small problems (a clogged head, a drifting spray, a zone that never runs) before they turn a corner of your yard brown. If your water bill jumped, that's usually where we start. A well-tuned system is the cheapest insurance a Florida lawn has.

Storm & hurricane cleanup

When a storm rolls through Central Florida, you want a number you can actually reach. We clear downed limbs and fallen palms, cut and stack debris to the curb for county pickup, and get your driveway and walks passable fast — usually within 48 hours of the all-clear.

Existing customers go to the front of the line. We can also do a pre-season pass: thinning canopies and removing weak limbs before the season so there's less to clean up after. When the power's out and the phones are jammed, it helps to already have a crew that knows your yard.

Why Sandhill 04 reasons

A small crew that acts like it's your yard.

There are plenty of people with a mower and a trailer. Here's what makes the difference once they're standing in your yard week after week.

Local & accountable
We live here

We're an Oviedo crew, not a national dispatch. The person who quotes your yard is the person whose name is on the truck — and the one who answers when you call back. When you're a neighbor, cutting corners isn't an option.

Honest pricing
No surprises

You get a clear price before we start and the exact same number on the invoice. No mystery fees, no upsells you didn't ask for, and no contract quietly renewing in the background. If a bed doesn't need mulch yet, we'll tell you.

Florida-specialized
Right plants, right cut

St. Augustine, Bahia and Zoysia; sabal palms and live oaks; sandy soil and summer storms. This is all we do, all year, on exactly this kind of ground — so we get the details right that generic crews get wrong.

Consistent crew
Faces you know

Consistency is the whole game in lawn care. The same trained crew learns your property — the slope that stays wet, the shady patch, the sprinkler that drifts — and builds on it every single visit. No re-explaining, ever.

The difference Alafaya Woods, Oviedo

Same yard. Six weeks apart.

A tired corner lot on the east side of Oviedo — overgrown beds, thin patchy turf, and edges that hadn't been touched in a season. A reset, a simple planting plan, and a standing weekly visit did the rest. No tear-out, no drama — just the standard, held.

Local crew, Oviedo roots

The same faces, every week.

We're not a franchise with a rotating cast of subcontractors. We're a small, full-time crew that lives here, kids in Seminole County schools, trucks parked in Oviedo. When you call, you talk to someone who has actually stood in your yard.

Every crew member is trained on the equipment, the plants, and — just as important — how to treat your property. Gates get re-latched. Nothing gets trampled. And if something isn't right, we come back and fix it, no argument. That's the whole reason people stay with us for years.

We keep the crew small on purpose. It's how the quality stays even, how we remember the details of a few hundred yards instead of a few thousand, and how you always get a real person on the phone instead of a call center. Growth is nice; being the crew your neighbors actually trust is the point.

Plants & materials Florida-friendly

The right plants for this ground.

We design and plant for the yard you'll actually have in three years — not just the one that looks full on the nursery cart. That means Florida-friendly, mostly low-water plants that shrug off our heat, sandy soil, and the salt on the breeze. We group them by thirst, so the greedy plants sit together and the tough ones carry the dry corners. The payoff is fewer replacements, lower water bills, and color that shows up in every season.

For turf, we work with the grasses that belong here: St. Augustine for shade tolerance, Bahia for tough sunny lots, and Zoysia where you want a fine, dense carpet underfoot. For beds, we finish with the right mulch for the job — hardwood, pine bark, or pine straw — and edge every line clean. It's the difference between a yard that's merely mowed and one that's genuinely kept.

Florida know-how Year-round

A lawn for every Florida season.

Central Florida really has two seasons — go and slow — and each one asks for something different from your lawn. Here's how we keep your yard a step ahead of the calendar, all year long.

Spring
Mar – May

Your lawn wakes up — and the weeds try to beat it there. We raise the mowing height as growth returns, cut the season's first clean edges, and refresh mulch so beds start the year ahead of the weeds. It's the best window to patch thin spots with new sod before the heat sets in.

Summer
Jun – Aug

Peak growth and peak stress. We mow weekly and never scalp — taller grass shades its own roots and holds moisture through the afternoon storms. Watering shifts to early morning to beat evaporation and fungus, and we watch for chinch bugs and brown patch, which love a Florida July.

Fall
Sep – Nov

Growth slows and the light softens. We ease off the mowing cadence, feed the lawn so it stores energy for winter, and start the palm and tree work that's easier once hurricane season winds down. A good fall clean-up sets everything up to green back fast in spring.

Winter
Dec – Feb

Our quiet season, but not a dormant one. Bahia goes tan and rests while St. Augustine holds a softer green. We mow as needed, protect tender plants on the rare frost night, and tackle the bigger projects — design, hardscape, irrigation overhauls — while the calendar has room.

Let's talk
Good questions 12 answers

Before you call.

How often should a Florida lawn be mowed?

Through our long growing season — roughly March to October — most St. Augustine and Bahia lawns want a weekly cut to stay healthy and even. Cutting too infrequently means we'd remove more than a third of the blade at once, which stresses the grass and invites weeds. In the cooler months growth slows and bi-weekly is usually plenty. We'll set the right rhythm for your specific yard and adjust it with the seasons.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Sandhill is a licensed Florida business carrying general liability and workers' compensation coverage. That protects your property and our crew, and it means the people on your lawn are employees we train and stand behind — not day labor. We're happy to share a certificate of insurance before any larger job.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Our maintenance plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime — we'd rather earn next week than trap you in a year. The only time we put a fixed scope in writing is for design, installation, or tree work, where you'll want the price and the plan spelled out clearly before we begin.

What happens with my yard after a hurricane?

Existing maintenance customers get priority — we aim to have driveways and walkways clear within about 48 hours of the all-clear, then work through full debris removal and curb-side stacking for county pickup. We also offer a pre-season canopy pass to thin trees and pull weak limbs before a storm, which dramatically cuts down what lands in your yard afterward.

Can you fix a sprinkler system you didn't install?

Absolutely. Most of our irrigation work is repairs and tune-ups on existing systems — broken heads, leaks, drifting spray, a zone that stopped running, or a controller that ignores county watering rules. We'll run every zone, show you what we find, and give you a straight price to set it right.

How do I get a quote, and does it cost anything?

Quotes are always free. Call or text (407) 555-0132, email lawn@citrustack.com, or send us your address. We can price most weekly mowing right over the phone; for design, trees, or irrigation we'll schedule a free walk-through and hand you a clear written estimate — with no obligation to book.

Do you bag the clippings or mulch them?

For a healthy, regularly-mowed Florida lawn we mulch the clippings right back in — they break down quickly and return nitrogen to the soil, which means a greener lawn with less fertilizer. If a lawn has grown long between cuts, or it's heavy leaf-drop season, we'll bag and haul instead so nothing smothers the turf. Either way, your driveway and walks get blown clean before we leave.

What kind of mulch do you recommend for Central Florida?

It depends on the look and the bed. Shredded hardwood knits together and holds well on slopes; pine bark is tidy and slow to break down; pine straw is light, inexpensive to refresh, and classic around palms and natural areas. We'll walk your property and match the material to each bed — and we never pile mulch up against trunks, which invites rot and pests.

My lawn is more weeds than grass. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes — and often without a full tear-out. We start by finding out why the grass lost: too much shade, poor watering, compacted sandy soil, or simply the wrong turf for the spot. Then we build a recovery plan, which might mean targeted weed control, aeration, top-dressing, and re-sodding the worst areas. Some yards bounce back in a single season; we'll tell you honestly which case yours is.

Do you offer one-time cleanups, or only recurring service?

Both. Plenty of customers start with a one-time reset — a big mow, bed cleanup, mulch refresh, and full haul-away — to get the yard back to a baseline. Some keep it there themselves; many decide it's easier to put us on a weekly or bi-weekly route once they see the difference. There's never an obligation to continue.

What happens if it rains on my mowing day?

Florida afternoons are unpredictable, so we plan around them. If the ground is too wet to cut cleanly — mud ruts, clumping, torn turf — we'll move your visit to the next dry day that week rather than chew up a soggy lawn. You'll get a heads-up either way, and your schedule catches right back up. We'd rather be a day late than leave your yard worse than we found it.

Are your crews and treatments safe around kids and pets?

Yes. Our core mowing, trimming, and cleanup work uses no chemicals at all — just sharp blades and a thorough clean-up afterward. When a lawn genuinely needs weed or pest control, we use targeted, labeled products applied by the book, and we tell you exactly when it's safe for children and pets to be back on the grass. Gates are always closed and latched behind us so nobody slips out.

If it's not right, we make it right.

Every visit comes with a simple promise: spot something we missed, tell us within 48 hours, and we'll come back and fix it at no charge. No contract holds you here — just work good enough that you never want to leave.
