Our approach
Landscapes built for a Florida summer, not a catalogue.
Plants, irrigation and mowing schedules chosen for heat, humidity and a four-month rainy season. Nothing on the plan is there only because it looks good in a brochure.

- Fully insured, certificate on request

Getting started is easy
Three steps, no surprises
- 01
Walk your property
A crew lead walks the grounds with you or your board, notes what is healthy and what is failing, and takes measurements.
- 02
Review your plan
You get a written plan with a monthly schedule and a fixed price. Change anything before you sign.
- 03
Your property stops being your problem
The same crew arrives on schedule, and you get a short report each month. Questions go to one phone number.
Portfolio
Work you can filter by area, service and property type

Landscape Design
A full property plan built around Florida's climate, from bed layout to hardscape, so the design still works in year three, not just at install.
Monthly Lawn Maintenance
The same crew, every visit: mowing height set for the season, edges kept clean, beds weeded before they get away from you.
Mulch & Beds
Bed edging and mulch refresh that holds its color and keeps weeds down through Florida's heat and rain.
Sod Installation
St. Augustine and Zoysia sod installed and watered in correctly, so it roots instead of stressing in the first two weeks.
Tree Trimming
Canopy shaping and deadwood removal for palms and shade trees, timed to protect against storm damage before hurricane season.
12 months, one plan
The Florida Season Plan™
Our named 12-month system for a Zone 9b property: what a St. Augustine lawn in Wesley Chapel actually needs each month, not a generic national schedule.
- 01
January
Dormant season. Mowing nearly stops, irrigation timers checked, cold-damaged growth pruned back after the last frost.
- 02
February
Pre-emergent weed control goes down before soil temperatures climb, ahead of spring green-up.
- 03
March
Green-up begins. Mowing height goes up, mulch beds refreshed, sod webworm scouting starts.
- 04
April
First full fertilization round, irrigation systems inspected before summer heat, palm trimming finishes before nesting season.
- 05
May
Peak growth. Weekly mowing begins, chinch bug activity watched closely as temperatures rise.
- 06
June
Rainy season starts. Irrigation runtime scaled back, lawns checked for fungus in the added humidity.
- 07
July
Heaviest mowing month of the year. Watering stays deep and infrequent, lawn armyworms watched for.
- 08
August
Second fertilization round, mid-summer irrigation audit, mulch topped up ahead of peak storm season.
- 09
September
Storm cleanup on standby, weekly mowing continues, tree canopies checked for hurricane risk.
- 10
October
Growth slows. Mowing frequency drops, thin patches overseeded, pre-emergent goes down for winter weeds.
- 11
November
Final fertilization before dormancy, irrigation runtime reduced, leaf and debris cleanup picks up.
- 12
December
Dormant season begins. Mowing nearly stops, beds edged clean, irrigation checked ahead of any freeze risk.

Ironwood and the alternatives
There is no single best choice. A solo operator is often the right call for one small yard. This table shows where each option is strongest, so a board can decide for its own property.
| What to compare | Ironwood | National chain | Solo mow-and-go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same crew every visit | Yes: A named crew lead for each property | Depends: Some assign a dedicated team, many rotate crews between sites | Yes: It is one person, until they are sick or booked |
| Licensed irrigation work | Yes: Licensed irrigation specialty contractor, number on file | Depends: Often licensed in-house, sometimes subcontracted | No: Mowing needs no licence, irrigation repair does, so usually not covered |
| Storm response | Yes: Cleanup order and pricing agreed in the contract | Yes: Many crews to send, often at emergency rates | Depends: Quick for one yard, limited for a whole community |
| Written monthly report | Yes: Dates and photos of the work, sent to the board or manager | Yes: Usually through an online portal or app | No: Usually a text message or an invoice |
| Plant warranty | Yes: 90 days on new plantings, exclusions written out | Depends: Common on installs, terms vary widely | No: Rarely offered |
| Contract length | Yes: 12 months, exit on 30 days' written notice | Depends: Often one to three years with automatic renewal | Yes: Usually month to month |
| Price | Mid-range, fixed monthly amount for the written scope | Can be lower per visit on large sites, extras add up | Usually the lowest price per visit |
