Your Sarasota Lawn & Pest Experts
Forever Green launched in 1987 because lawns around Sarasota deserved better care than they were getting. Three decades later, we've handled everything from fire ant colonies in Laurel Park to love bug swarms near Bayfront Park. Why do properties from downtown's Rosemary District to exclusive Bird Key keep calling us back? We treat every lawn like it's our own backyard.
Each customer gets assigned their own lawn specialist - not some random technician who shows up whenever. Your specialist learns your grass type, problem areas, and exactly how you want your property maintained. They stick with your lawn visit after visit, year after year.
What problems do Sarasota lawns really face? Salt damage from Gulf breezes hits St. Armands Circle properties hard. Fire ants love the sandy soil around Siesta Key. Those massive palmetto bugs seem to multiply overnight in older neighborhoods near Southside Village.
Lawn Care & Treatment Services
Sarasota's coastal climate creates lawn challenges you won't find inland. Salt air, hurricane winds, and intense summer storms all stress your grass differently than properties just twenty miles east. We've spent over thirty years figuring out exactly what works here - not copying programs from Georgia or Texas.
Our Core Lawn Spray Services Include:
Precision Fertilization: St. Augustine grass near the marina needs different nutrients than Bahia grass in Gulf Gate. We don't guess - soil tests tell us exactly what your lawn is missing. Why waste money feeding grass nutrients it already has plenty of?
Selective Weed Elimination: Those weeds laughing at your weekend store treatments? We identify each species first, then hit them with targeted herbicides that won't damage your good grass. Dollarweed thrives in our humidity, but the right selective herbicide kills it without touching St. Augustine.
Pest Intervention: Chinch bugs destroy more Sarasota lawns than drought and disease combined. Grubs chew grass roots while you sleep. Army worms appear overnight and strip entire sections bare. We catch these problems early through regular monitoring - not after your neighbors start asking what happened to your lawn.
Disease Management: Take-all root rot and brown patch spread fast in our humid summers. By the time most people notice symptoms, half their lawn is already infected. Our technicians spot early warning signs during routine visits.

Sarasota Pest Control Services
Your lawn and landscape face constant attack from destructive pests that can ruin months of careful maintenance in just days. Our outdoor pest control team protects your turf, plants, and outdoor living spaces from the insects and critters that threaten Sarasota properties year-round.
Specialized Lawn & Landscape Pest Solutions:
Fire Ant Colony Elimination: These aggressive ants love our sandy soil and build massive underground cities right in your lawn. One mound visible in your yard usually means ten more hidden nearby. Our bait systems eliminate entire colonies - not just the workers you see walking across your grass.
Chinch Bug Destruction: These tiny vampires suck the life out of St. Augustine grass, creating brown dead patches that spread quickly. Sarasota's hot summers provide perfect breeding conditions. We target them during their most vulnerable life stages with precision treatments that won't harm beneficial insects.
Grub Worm Control: White grubs chew grass roots underground while your lawn slowly dies from above. You'll notice brown patches that peel up like carpet - that's grub damage. We time treatments perfectly with their development cycle to stop damage before it starts.
Armyworm Prevention: These caterpillars appear overnight and can strip entire sections of lawn bare within days. Properties near wooded areas like Myakka River get hit hardest. We monitor for early signs and treat before they reach destructive numbers.
Outdoor Ant Management: Crazy ants, ghost ants, and other species invade outdoor entertaining areas and damage plant roots. Our perimeter treatments create protective barriers around patios, pools, and landscape beds without affecting your lawn's health.
Neighborhood Expertise Throughout Sarasota
Downtown & Rosemary District: Historic properties with mature landscaping face unique pest pressures. Older buildings attract palmetto bugs, while established trees create shaded areas prone to fungal diseases.
Siesta Key & St. Armands: Salt spray damages grass and attracts different pest species. Properties need specialized treatments for coastal conditions and hurricane recovery programs.
Gulf Gate & Southside Village: Established neighborhoods with mature oak canopies create perfect breeding grounds for certain insects. We adjust treatment timing for these micro-climates.
Longboat Key & Bird Key: Exclusive waterfront properties require discreet, effective service that protects valuable landscaping investments. We provide white-glove service that matches these communities' standards.
Laurel Park & Bayfront: Mixed residential and commercial properties face unique challenges from increased foot traffic and varied property maintenance schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you handle fire ants differently than other companies?
A: Most companies just spray visible mounds, which scatters ants to new locations. We use professional-grade bait systems that workers carry back to eliminate entire colonies, including the queen.
Q: Are treatments safe around pets and children?
A: Yes, all our products are designed for residential use around families. Most treatments allow normal yard use within 2-4 hours after application.
Q: Do you require annual contracts?
A: No contracts needed. We earn your business through quality results, not binding agreements. You can adjust or stop service anytime.
Q: What lawn problems are most common in Sarasota?
A: Fire ants, chinch bugs, and salt damage from Gulf storms cause the most lawn issues here. Take-all root rot and brown patch fungus are also major problems during summer months.
Q: How often do you treat for pests?
A: Most residential properties benefit from quarterly pest treatments, but waterfront homes or properties with ongoing problems may need monthly service during peak season.
Q: Can you help with palm tree problems?
A: Absolutely. Palm nutritional deficiencies and scale insects are common issues here. We provide deep root fertilization and targeted pest treatments for all types of palms and ornamental plants.
Q: What makes Sarasota pest control different from other areas?
A: Our coastal location brings unique challenges - salt air, hurricane damage, and pests that don't exist inland. We've developed specific treatment protocols for these local conditions.
Q: When should I start lawn treatments?
A: Early spring (February-March) is ideal for getting ahead of pest and weed problems, but we can begin effective treatments any time based on your current lawn condition.
