Common Lawn Pests in Florida

Southeastern states like Florida are prone to a variety of lawn pests that can ruin your grass or turf any time of the year. Common types of lawn pests we treat include:

• Chinch Bugs
• Mole Crickets
• Sod Webworms
• Army Worms
• Fire Ants

Lawn pests can cause severe damage to your grass, turf, or ornamentals in a short period of time. With annual lawn care services from McCall, you can ensure pests stay far away from your soil or plants, leaving your lawn and garden luscious all year long.

Reduce Watering Requirements by Up To 50% or More

Chronically dry soil can become moisture-resistant, resulting in ineffective watering and poor absorption capabilities. At McCall Service, we utilize Hydretain® to help lawns deal with drought stress. The benefits of Hydretain® include:

• Permits water absorption rather than channeling moisture away
• Prolongs healthy internal processes
• Dramatically reduces or eliminates drought-related stress issues
• Controls or eliminates dry spots
• Reduces watering expenses

Acting like water magnets, Hydretain® molecules have an advanced and eco-friendly chemistry that forms a thin film on root surfaces.

Irrigation System Repair & Maintenance

Proper fertilization and weed prevention are just two of the necessary elements to keeping your lawn in great shape. Ensuring that your lawn has plenty of moisture is important, and one of the best tools to help is your home’s sprinkler and irrigation system. For homeowners or businesses, we’re proud to offer irrigation and sprinkler system maintenance packages to help keep your watering system up and running, whether you need one-time services or quarterly service calls.

While we don’t install irrigation or sprinkler systems, we are equipped to make sure your lawn watering tools are performing at their best. In addition to checking and cleaning main water lines, clearing blocked sprinkler nozzles, and looking for evidence of leaks in the lawn, we also ensure your timers work properly. Because watering your lawn at the right times is key for its health, we will help set the proper watering schedule and make sure spray patterns are delivering the water where it’s needed. We will also:

• Test each zone to ensure every sprinkler head is working properly
• Test rain sensors (if installed)
• Clean any hydroponic discs and caps
• Provide written estimates for additional services as needed

Aeration

Soil aeration, like watering and fertilizing, is an important process for keeping your lawn healthy. Aerating your soil involves using either manual or mechanized equipment to puncture the soil with spikes or to remove small cores of soil from the ground. Mechanical aeration—which is a trusted method among professionals—removes cores of soil from the turf at a depth of four inches. When you aerate your lawn, you’re reducing compaction of the soil to accomplish several goals, which can include:

• Improving drainage and reducing puddle formation
• Enhancing water and nutrient absorption
• Encouraging deeper roots
• Giving grass seed better direct contact with the soil
• Reduce buildup of lawn thatch, allowing your lawn to breathe

Why is aeration important?

Aeration can be an often-overlooked method of encouraging grass growth in your lawn, but it can be a powerful tool to help revitalize its overall health.

When should I perform aeration?

Aeration is good for your lawn, but it can stress the grass if done during the height of lawn growth. It also shouldn’t be performed on dormant lawns. Therefore, the best time to aerate is just prior to—or during—your grass reaching its natural peak growing period. For us in Florida, this is usually late spring or very early summer.

Aeration is easiest when the soil is moist from either irrigation or recent rainfall. Note that you should never aerate an overly wet lawn.

How do I aerate my soil? 

One of the best ways to ensure your soil is properly aerated is to trust a professional. At McCall Service, our lawn care programs include aeration. Instead of worrying about improperly aerating your lawn on your own, call our service professionals. We’ll walk you through a comprehensive lawn program and schedule your aeration at the optimal time, ensuring you get the best possible results.
