In Mount Pleasant, the lawn is part of the story your home tells. It’s where kids race down the front yard before dinner, where dogs nap under the trees, and where you catch a breeze after a long day crossing the Ravenel. But between salty air, heat that sticks around, and surprise storms rolling off the water, your grass has a lot working against it.
Mount Pleasant lawns often sit on sandy or sandy-loam soils. Great for drainage, not so great for holding onto nutrients. That's why DIY "one-and-done" applications rarely last.
Our fertilization program focuses on:
- Slow-release nutrients that don't overwhelm your turf
- Root development, so grass can handle foot traffic and heat
- Timing applications around our real seasons, not a national calendar
We're not just "feeding the top." We're helping the whole lawn stay stronger, longer.
If you've seen dollarweed or crabgrass take over after a rainy stretch, you know weeds love Mount Pleasant almost as much as we do. They creep along edges, show up in thin spots, and multiply fast.
We use:
- Pre-emergent weed control to block a big wave of weeds before they sprout
- Targeted post-emergent treatments for the stubborn patches that pop up anyway
We keep your grass type in mind and aim for a clean lawn that still looks healthy and relaxed, not over-treated.
Between kids, pets, lawn equipment, and backyard gatherings, your soil gradually gets packed down. That makes it harder for roots to get water and air, especially in neighborhoods with smaller yards and higher traffic.
Our mechanical core aeration:
- Pulls small plugs from the lawn to relieve compaction
- Opens channels for water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach the roots
- Helps turf bounce back from stress and heat
When it makes sense for your grass type, we can pair aeration with overseeding to thicken thin areas and soften the overall look of the yard.
Sometimes those "dry spots" in Mount Pleasant lawns are actually insect damage. Grubs, chinch bugs, and other lawn pests can chew through roots and leave the turf looking tired and patchy.
We help with:
- Preventive treatments in the seasons when pests are most active
- Curative applications when we see clear signs of damage
- Options that fit how your family uses the yard, dogs, barefoot kids, and all
Your lawn should feel like a safe, comfortable place to hang out, not a constant science project.
Coastal soils can lean acidic over time. When the pH drifts too low, your grass can't use fertilizer efficiently, no matter how good the product is. If your lawn needs it, we'll apply lime to gently nudge the soil back toward a healthier balance.
You won't always "see" lime working the way you see fertilizer, but you'll notice the difference in how your lawn responds over the long haul.
With warm, humid summers and mild winters, warm-season grasses are the stars of the show in Mount Pleasant.
Some folks also overseed with ryegrass in cooler months for a winter green-up while their warm-season lawn rests.
Bermuda grass – Great for sunny, active yards that see a lot of playtime.
Zoysia grass – Dense, plush, and naturally good at crowding out weeds.
St. Augustine grass – Handles shade better and fits right into coastal streetscapes.
Centipede grass – A slower-growing, relatively low-maintenance option many homeowners like.Insects we keep an eye on:
Weeds that love our coastal climate:
– Crabgrass along sidewalks and driveways
– Dollarweed in damp spots and low areas
– Clover and other broadleaf weeds in thinner turf
The sooner we catch them, the easier they are to manage.

Average Annual Rainfall: Around 50+ inches
Average Summer High: Upper 80s to low 90s°F
Average Winter Low: Around 40°F, with only occasional frost

Most Mount Pleasant lawns do best with about 1–1.5 inches of water per week, including rain. A simple rain gauge or small container under a sprinkler is enough to keep track.
