What Penney Farms lawns are up against
Northeast Florida lawns grow on sand, in heat and humidity, with summer storms almost every afternoon and water restrictions the rest of the time. St. Augustine rules here, followed by zoysia and Bahia. The main enemies are chinch bugs, large patch and too much water at the wrong time, and the lawns that hold up are mowed high, watered on schedule and checked often.
Soil
Most of Northeast Florida sits on fine sand with little organic matter, so water and nutrients pass through quickly. Low-lying areas and newer developments built on fill can have hardpan or poorly drained pockets. Near the beaches, soils are pure sand with salt exposure. Yards along the St. Johns River and its creeks often hold more moisture and organic matter.
Grass
St. Augustine is the standard lawn grass across Jacksonville and St. Johns and Clay counties. Zoysia has become common in newer communities, Bahia covers many larger and lower-maintenance lots, and centipede shows up in some older yards. Salt-tolerant varieties matter at the beaches.
Water
The St. Johns River Water Management District limits lawn watering to no more than two set days a week during Daylight Saving Time and one day a week the rest of the year, and never between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Your days depend on your address. Sandy soil dries out fast, so deep watering on your allowed days is the goal.

Lawn care in Penney Farms: common questions
Pure sand rarely needs aeration, but lawns on fill dirt, clay pockets or heavily used yards do. Late spring and early summer, while the grass is growing hard, is the right time. We check the soil first and only aerate where it will actually help.
