Do you need sod replacement? If so, any time after February 15th is a great time to replace it. Here are just a few excellent reasons:

1. Temperatures are warm enough to encourage quick establishment of your new turf while not so hot to cause extreme heat stress. This means less water! Less water used is more money in your pocket!
2. Moderate temperatures also mean less evaporation. With less evaporation, more water gets to the root system of the new sod. This will allow your new sod to develop a deep root system which will give you grass that is more drought tolerant year round.
3. Replacing your sod now, gives the sod the time to establish well before the height of pest season. A healthy, established lawn will have much more resistance to chinch bugs, sod webworms, fungus and other common summer pests.
4. Best of all you can take advantage of our Special Prices on sod replacement that are available for the entire month of February.

St. Augustine Floratam:

Other types of sod are available. Give us a call for pricing. Some restrictions may apply. The services listed below are included in these prices. At JLC Outdoors we take extra steps to make sure your new sod has the best possible conditions for successful establishment and healthy growth.

On our initial visit our first step is to evaluate and discuss with you what type of sod best fits your lifestyle and your properties growing conditions. At this time we also do an initial run through on your irrigation system to ensure it is working properly and will advise you as to any repairs or adjustments that need to be made so as to make sure that your new sod receives proper irrigation coverage for proper root establishment.

Previous to starting the installation process we may visit your property again to spray a systemic, broad spectrum herbicide to kill any invasive weeds or grasses. After a few days to give the spray time to do its job, our crew will return to cut out the old sod from the area where your new lawn is to be placed. Prior to doing the cut out, we do another run through on your irrigation system to make any agreed upon repairs or adjustments, and also at this time we flag all your sprinkler heads so as not to damage them during cut out or cover them up when installing your new lawn.

Once the irrigation is taken care of, the area to be replaced is cut out and the old sod and debris is loaded for hauling away. We will hand rake the area for proper grading and, in the case of partial installs, make sure the new lawn matches the established lawn at the same level.

After your new lawn is installed we will make sure your irrigation timer is set on a watering schedule that will ensure the new lawn receives sufficient water to help it get established and will make a final inspection of the area. And, we will leave you a copy of our brochure, PROPER CARE OF NEWLY INSTALLED SOD,(click here to read), to help make your new lawn replacement a success.

Mandatory lawn watering regulations take effect for Orange County on the first Sunday of November. All of Orange County is to follow the St. Johns Water District restrictions. Outdoor irrigation is limited to 1 day per week during Eastern Standard Time (from the first Sunday in November until the second Sunday in March). No watering is allowed between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Water only when necessary. Water for no more than one hour. This ordinance applies to landscape irrigation regardless of whether the water comes from groundwater or surface water, from a private well or pumps, or from a public or private utility. Mandatory lawn watering restrictions specify the days when you may water. These days depend on whether you have an odd or even numbered address

• An odd numbered address is one that ends in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
• An even numbered address is one that ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.
• Water only when needed and not between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Water for no more than one hour per zone.
• Restrictions apply to private wells and pumps, ground or surface water and water from public
  and private utilities.

New Sod or New Landscaping Exemptions;

Per County ordinance, residents are allowed to water new sod or new landscaping on any day at any time for the initial 30 days after installation, and then every other day for the next 30 days. Watering is limited to the amount necessary for the sod or landscape to become established. This exception applies only on those specific areas where the new sod/landscaping is located. Residents in some areas may need to supply their water company with their name, phone number, address, and any receipts for sod and/or landscape purchases to avoid getting a watering violation during sod/landscape establishment. Although exempt from watering violations during this time, residents are not exempt from the applicable water rates. Please keep in mind that an increase in watering will result in higher water bills.

*Please note:

This special price covers properties with up to eight (8) zones (stations). An extra charge will apply to properties with more than eight zones. Call for pricing.

This special covers only the services outlined above in red. In order to service as many properties as possible to comply with new fall and winter watering regulations we will not be doing any major repairs during these visits. We will leave you with an evaluation of your system and advise you of any repairs or amendments that need to be made. If your rain sensor is not functioning properly or your system needs repairs, we can, at your request prepare an estimate and schedule this work to be done at a later date.

Cooler and eventually colder weather will be here before we know it. With the cooler weather, comes the perfect opportunity to address any problem areas you may have in your landscape or, to just add a fresh touch!

SOD INSTALLATION: Need Sod Replacement? If so, now is a great time to replace.  Here are just a few great reasons:

1. As temperatures become more moderate there is a lot less stress on newly installed sod and this encourages faster establishment of the turfs new root system. This means less water!  Less water used is more money in your pocket!
2. Moderate temperatures also mean less evaporation.  With less evaporation, more water gets to the root system of the new sod.  This will allow your new sod to develop a deep root system which will give you grass that is more drought tolerant year round.
3. Replacing your sod now, gives the sod time to establish itself before extreme cold temperatures arrive.  And a healthy, established lawn will have much more resistance to chinch bugs, sod webworms, fungus and other common pests.

WEB SITE ONLY SPECIAL

SPECTACULAR MULCH SPECIAL FOR ONE (1) WEEK ONLY

We recently had an increase in the wholesale purchase price of our PINE BARK MULCH. HOWEVER, to encourage visits to our web site, we are going to absorb that cost ourselves and offer a per cubic yard installation price that is our all-time lowest price ever.

$40.00 PER CUBIC YARD, SUPPLIED and INSTALLED*

*MINIMUM FIVE (5) CUBIC YARDS

We will give you a follow up call to verify that you are locked in for your $40.OO PER CUBIC YARD SUPPLY and INSTALL price, and if needed, to arrange for an estimator to visit your property to determine how many yards of mulch you need. There is no charge for this service.

Install must be scheduled before October 31, 2011.

FOR OUR DIY CUSTOMERS; If you would like to install your own mulch and save a few dollars, you will not beat JLC Outdoors prices. Our Pine Bark Mulch is packaged in 3 cubic ft. bags and our price including tax is $4.00 per bag. Nine of these 3 cubic ft. bags make one cubic yard. These bags are fully packed for assurance that you are getting a true measurement for your dollar. Give Jim a call @ 407-595-5818. Delivery is available for a small fee.

(At both major home improvement chains they are charging $2.82 plus tax* each for 2 cubic ft. bags. This translates to paying $4.53 for the same 3 cubic ft. of mulch. ($2.82 + tax = $3.02 x 1 1/2 =$4.53) We save you almost $25 on a 5 cubic yd. order.)
