What the yards look like out here
Casselberry’s ranch-style housing stock mostly dates from the 1960s through the 1980s, spread across a city with more than thirty lakes and ponds — Lake Concord, Lake Howell and the Triplet Chain among them. Parcels closest to the water carry real flood exposure, and that means irrigation and mulch work has to account for soil that stays wetter longer than on inland lots elsewhere in the county. Older, smaller yards here also lean on regular mowing and shrub trimming to keep pace with humidity-driven growth near the lakes.

Lawn care in Casselberry — common questions
Our Casselberry lot backs onto a lake — does that change irrigation and mulch work?
It does. Parcels closest to Lake Concord, Lake Howell and the Triplet Chain carry real flood exposure, and the soil stays wetter longer than on inland lots. Irrigation and mulch work has to account for that — less supplemental water, mulch kept to depth so it does not stay sodden, and drainage checked on the walk-through.
What should lakefront owners in Casselberry watch for heading into storm season?
Standing water and saturated ground are hard on turf and on irrigation lines, and a heavy wet season leaves beds buried in debris. Clearing loose material before a storm keeps it from becoming projectiles, and clearing it after is usually the first call. Any tree leaning over the house or the water gets flagged early.
How often should St. Augustine grass be mowed in Central Florida?
Through the growing season — roughly March into November — St. Augustine grass wants cutting every five to seven days. In the summer rain it can put on two to three inches a week, and the rule that keeps it healthy is to never take off more than a third of the blade in one cut. That is why routine mowing runs weekly in summer and stretches to every other week only in the cooler months when growth slows.
Should palm trees get a "hurricane cut" before storm season?
No. There is no such thing as a hurricane cut. UF/IFAS is clear that stripping a palm back to a few upright fronds does not reduce wind resistance and actively harms the tree — green fronds are how a palm feeds itself, and over-pruning thins the trunk and leaves the growing point exposed. What genuinely helps before a storm is taking off the fronds that are already dead or brown, plus any loose fronds, seed pods or coconuts that could come down in high wind. That is the palm work worth doing.
What days can I water my lawn in Seminole County?
Seminole County runs the year-round schedule: twice a week from March through November, once a week from November through March, and no watering between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any day. Odd-numbered street addresses water Wednesday and Saturday; even-numbered addresses water Thursday and Sunday. Hand watering with a shut-off nozzle is allowed any time, and newly installed landscape gets a 60-day establishment exception. A few cities layer their own rules on top, so it is worth checking yours.
