Simple and efficient lawn care for Ruskin residents

On the shores of the Little Manatee River rests the small city of Ruskin, FL, but its personality is anything but quiet. This scenic town is home to a major Amazon facility as well as one of the first LEED-certified schools in the state. If you are lucky enough to live and work in Ruskin, you are no doubt aware of all the exciting things to do and see, but have you considered these attractions for your next weekend excursion?

For a quiet family experience, head over to the Ruskin Family Drive-In to catch a movie on a warm summer night. This theatre features old classics and new blockbuster hits, so make sure you check the schedule regularly to find the perfect movie. Grab a bite to eat, first, or you could cook your own dinner using the fresh produce you select earlier in the day at the MiraBay Farmer’s Market.

Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve is a great spot to check out by boat. If you’re interest in birdwatching, go in the spring, or head out on a hiking adventure on the park’s system of hiking trails. For a guided adventure, pay a visit to Camp Bayou, where you can explore a preserved portion of Florida's original habitats and engage in educational tours and demonstrations. If you want to head out into the wild on your own, there are multiple boat rentals and guided boat tours where you can simply enjoy nature, or go scouting for dolphins and whales.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, don’t head back home for dinner. Instead, stop at one of Ruskin’s many delicious eateries. The Dog House and More has a large menu of American, seafood, and sandwich offerings to please the whole family at a moderate price, wile Old Castle Tavern features more upscale eats that are perfect for date night.

Ruskin may be teeming with things to do, but mowing your lawn should be nowhere near that list. Don’t spend your precious weekend time laboring over your lawn. Instead, contact the premier lawn care service in Ruskin–LawnStarter Lawn Care.

LawnStarter is the name to know for all things lawn care. We offer a range of services, including tree trimming, lawn mowing, and flowerbed maintenance. We can accommodate any special request, and are happy to work with you to make sure the services you select fit within your budget in schedule.

Edgar was awesome. He did a great job on the yard, and he was so kind. My daughter stood in front of the glass door playing and watching him edge around. He smiled at her and waved a few times. He didn't give no creeper vibes or anything like that. He just came off as a genuinely kind person. Thank you for your service and being the amazing person you are, Edgar.

ASK THE EXPERTS

"What's your number one tip for improving the backyard of your home?"


Mow your lawn higher and more often: When the sun is out in full force, it can be tempting to cut your lawn as short as possible so you can get by with having to mow less. Don’t fall into this trap--keeping your lawn cropped too short can cause unnecessary stress on your lawn, especially in intense heat. Instead, mow your lawn higher and more often so your grass can look its best. It may require a little extra work on your part, but your lawn will thank you.
