Our Story
Started Small. Still Family-Owned.
Sarasota Lawn Care didn't start in some corporate high-rise. We started small — just a Florida family who decided to do lawn care the way it should be done: show up on time, fix the problem, and stand behind it.
Since 2024, we've grown into one of Sarasota County's go-to lawn care crews — still powered by real people who know chinch bugs from drought stress and know which day your turf is allowed to water.
We're licensed, BMP-trained, insured, and obsessed with doing the job right the first time. Every visit ends with a digital report, photos, and a plan for what to watch before we're back.
Who Owns Us?
Owned Here. Not by a Fund.
Sarasota Lawn Care is locally owned and not owned by private equity. A lot of pest control companies around Sarasota and Manatee have been bought by investment groups in the last few years. We haven't been.
The people who run Sarasota Lawn Care live and work in Southwest Florida. Pricing and service decisions are made here, not by a parent company in another state.

Our Values
The Sarasota Lawn Care Way
How we do business — with zero drama.
Local turf, local rules
We know Sarasota St. Augustine, Bahia, and Zoysia — and the county blackout windows that change every year.
No national playbook
No generic Midwest six-step plan. Every treatment is built for the grass, the season, and the ordinance.
No surprises. Ever.
No hidden pricing, no contracts required, no mystery charges. What we quote is what you pay. On a residential recurring plan, each service's rate holds for 12 months (your bundle discount follows the services you keep), then 30 days' written notice before any change.
Thicker, greener in 90 days
Or we re-treat free. That's the guarantee — in writing, not in fine print.
We teach, not just treat
You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what to watch between visits.
When you reach out, we answer
No ghosting, no runaround. Request a quote and a real person calls you back within 5 minutes, 8am–8pm, seven days a week.
Our Approach
The Whole Lawn Approach
Spraying a bag of generic fertilizer and calling it "lawn care" doesn't cut it in Sarasota. We look at the grass type, the soil, the weed pressure, chinch and webworm activity, drainage, and the ordinance calendar — every visit.
While some companies treat the symptom, we go deeper. We look at why the lawn is thinning, what the roots are doing, and what to schedule next so the problem doesn't come back.
Inspect

Treat

Protect
