Here in northeast Florida–and even in the rest of the country, or so I’m told–spring is just around the corner. But due to our area’s somewhat unique climate and fauna, getting your lawn and yard ready for spring–and summer–isn’t quite as straightforward as it is for some of our neighbors to the north.
The St. Augustine Lawn
St. Augustine Grass may be the most prevalent lawn in northeast Florida. It’s fairly heat tolerant and can stand up to salty, brackish water. It also does pretty well in the shade.
It’s the type of setting you’d expect to find in more urban environments. Single-family homes and townhomes, apartments, shopping, dining and businesses, all clustered together in a convenient location. And, as Jacksonville, and the Southside, continues to grow, it may be something we’ll see more of in the future. But for now, Weekley’s “Central Living” concept is among the first of its kind in the Jacksonville area.
Chances are Southside Quarter is close to many of the places you’re going to already. Shopping and dining at St. Johns Town Center. Costco. Tinseltown. IKEA. Publix and Winn-Dixie on Baymeadows. And if you already work in the area (McKesson, Availity, Deutsche Bank and, coming this spring, Web.com), so much the better.

Drill down a little deeper, and you’ll find that much of that growth is happening in the town of Ponte Vedra, FL, home to Nocatee, and ranked as the 2nd fastest growing suburb in America by Realtor.com.
With so much growth happening, you have to wonder…where do/will all these people work? The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity may have a few answers for us.
If the last time you remember seeing or hearing anything about Jacksonville, FL, was during the 2005 Super Bowl, it may be time to take another look. Since Bill Simmons gave the entire city a black eye more than a decade ago, Jacksonville has emerged as a destination for dining, the arts, sports and exceptional outdoor recreation.
And people are starting to take notice. [Read more…]
