Local Expertise - 30+ years treating Clearwater's unique pest problems from Sand Key to Island Estates
Forever Green started in 1993 with one goal - making Clearwater lawns look amazing despite our unique challenges. After 30+ years treating properties from Clearwater Beach to Sand Key Park, we've seen every pest problem you can imagine. The sandy soil near Pier 60, salt air along the coast, and that sticky humidity create conditions most lawn companies don't understand.
What sets us apart? Each customer gets their own lawn care expert who learns your yard's quirks. They know whether your St. Augustine grass struggles with chinch bugs near the harbor or if your Bahia grass needs extra nutrients because of our sandy soil. Same person, same approach, visit after visit.
Chinch Bugs - These tiny black and white pests destroy St. Augustine grass in circular patches. They're especially bad in sunny areas during April through October. Sand Key and Island Estates properties see the worst infestations.
Fire Ants - Clearwater has 5x more fire ants than inland Florida cities. Their painful stings make yards dangerous for kids and pets. We see the biggest problems from May through September.
Mole Crickets - These underground pests tunnel through sandy soil, leaving spongy turf and damaged roots. They're worst in Bahia grass lawns with irrigation systems.
Sod Webworms - Night-feeding caterpillars that chew grass blades and create brown patches. They're most active during summer months and leave green pellets on affected turf.
Customized lawn care services focused on fertilization & wee control.
Nobody wants to share their home with bugs. Our commercial & residential pest control services keep unwanted visitors outside where they belong.
Those beautiful palms, oaks, and ornamental shrubs around your property face different challenges than your lawn. They need specific nutrients and protection from pests and diseases common to our area.
Your Clearwater lawn faces challenges most other areas don't deal with. Sandy coastal soil drains nutrients quickly. Salt air near the beach stresses grass. High humidity breeds fungal diseases. Our lawn programs address these specific conditions.
Custom Fertilization - Clearwater's sandy soil leaches nutrients faster than clay soils inland. We adjust nitrogen timing and use slow-release formulas that won't wash away during heavy rains.
Weed Control - Dollarweed, crabgrass, and other weeds thrive in our climate. We use selective herbicides that eliminate weeds without harming your St. Augustine, Bahia, or Zoysia grass.
Disease Prevention - Grey leaf spot and take-all root rot destroy lawns quickly in our humid climate. We spot early signs and treat before damage spreads throughout your yard.
Insect Management - Chinch bugs, sod webworms, and grubs can wipe out sections of lawn in weeks. We identify and treat pest damage before it becomes visible.
St. Augustine- Most popular in Clearwater but prone to chinch bugs and fungal diseases

Q: How often do you treat for outdoor pests in Clearwater?
A: Most properties need monthly treatments during peak seasons (April-October) and quarterly during cooler months. Properties near water or wooded areas may need more frequent service for lawn and landscape pests.
Q: Are your treatments safe for pets and children playing in the yard?
A: Yes, we use EPA-approved products designed for outdoor use and follow all label instructions. We recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas for 2-4 hours after application depending on the product used.
Q: What's the best grass type for Clearwater lawns?
A: St. Augustine grass works well in most areas but needs regular fungicide treatments. Bahia grass handles drought better but attracts mole crickets. Zoysia is more expensive but handles salt air and foot traffic well.
Q: How do you handle chinch bug infestations?
A: We identify affected areas by looking for circular yellow patches in sunny spots. Treatment involves targeted insecticide applications and follow-up visits to monitor recovery. Severe infestations may need reseeding.
Q: Do you service properties near the beach?
A: Absolutely. We treat properties throughout Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, and Island Estates. Coastal properties face unique challenges from salt air and sand, which we address with specialized treatments.
Q: What makes Clearwater outdoor pest control different from other cities?
A: High humidity, sandy soil, and proximity to water create ideal conditions for lawn pests like fire ants, mosquitoes, and chinch bugs. We've developed treatment programs specifically for these coastal outdoor conditions.
Q: How much does lawn care cost in Clearwater?
A: Prices vary based on property size, grass type, and specific needs. We provide free estimates and never require contracts. Most residential properties range from basic monthly service to comprehensive programs.
Q: Can you treat both my lawn and outdoor pest problems?
A: Yes, we're licensed for both lawn care and outdoor pest control. This allows us to coordinate treatments and address problems that affect your landscape and outdoor living spaces.
