National and statewide publications have asked our team for advice on Florida lawns and outdoor spaces. When a reporter needs someone who actually installs sod, runs irrigation, and troubleshoots a struggling yard in this climate, they call people who do the work. Below are the features where you can read owners Jesse Dewey and Joe Kappel in their own words.
Real Simple: 5 Watering Tips for a Healthier Lawn
Real Simple asked lawn pros how to water a lawn the right way. Owners Jesse Dewey and Joe Kappel walked readers through five practical tips, from matching water to your grass type to finishing before sunrise so the Florida sun does not burn it off. They explained why St. Augustine drinks far more than drought tolerant Bahia, and how daily sprinkling actually weakens a lawn by keeping its roots shallow.

Guide to Florida: 2024 Best of Florida Award

Family Handyman: Working Through 100 Degree Heat
Family Handyman asked landscapers how they keep working safely when summer temperatures climb past 100 degrees. Co-owner Joe Kappel walked through how the crew handles it, from starting before sunrise and wrapping up by early afternoon to wearing long sleeves that shade the skin, hydrating the day before a job and not just during it, taking cooling breaks in the trucks, and pulling anyone off the site the moment they show signs of heat illness.
"You don't want to overdo it. Take your time, take lots of breaks and drink as much water as you can." Joe Kappel, co-owner, quoted in Family HandymanRead the Family Handyman article
