Landscaping in Hollywood is like the Atlantic Ocean – it seems to go on forever.

Here in the Sunshine State, especially this far south, yard work never ends. Follow this calendar for common landscaping projects to keep your yard looking great all year.

Spring

• Lawn Care: Mowing season ramps up again in early to mid-March.

Summer

• Lawn Care: Keep mowing weekly, but not when the lawn is wet or when it’s too hot outside.
