What the yards look like out here
Lake Mary’s signature neighborhoods — Heathrow’s estate lots pushing an acre, Timacuan’s golf-course quarter-acre parcels — run larger and newer than the older HOA subdivisions in Altamonte Springs or Casselberry. Guard-gated communities here hold landscaping to strict, uniform standards, so mowing, mulch and irrigation have to stay on a consistent schedule across every yard on the street, not just the ones that ask. The tech-corridor growth along I-4 also means newer irrigation infrastructure than Longwood or Casselberry, so most issues are calibration and zone adjustments, not the worn-out valves and lines that come with age.
Distance note
Lake Mary sits 6 miles from our Longwood base — close enough to hold a real schedule here, not a route we squeeze in when it happens to be convenient.

Lawn care in Lake Mary — common questions
Our guard-gated Lake Mary community holds every yard to one standard — can you keep that?
Yes. Heathrow, Timacuan and the other guard-gated communities hold landscaping to strict, uniform standards, so mowing, mulch and irrigation have to stay on a consistent schedule across every yard on the street — not just the ones that ask. Routine weekly service through the growing season is built for exactly that.
The irrigation in Heathrow and Timacuan is fairly new — what usually needs fixing?
On the newer tech-corridor construction, most irrigation issues are calibration and zone adjustments rather than the worn-out valves and lines that come with age in Longwood or Casselberry. A head spraying the sidewalk, a zone that no longer reaches, a controller set wrong for the season — those are the common ones.
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.
