Landscaping & Lawn Care in Mims, FL
Big lots, long fence lines, and country properties are what Mims is about — and Big Mike's has the equipment and the route to keep them cut, trimmed, and cleaned up.
Built for Mims-Sized Properties
Mims isn't quarter-acre subdivision country. Properties here run bigger — acreage off Highway 46, homesteads toward Scottsmoor, and older homes shaded by real oak canopy. That changes the job: more mowing deck time, more edge to trim, more oak limbs to manage, and irrigation wells instead of city water on plenty of lots. Big Mike's Premier Property Services runs North Brevard routes with that kind of property in mind.
Whether it's a standing mow schedule for a large lot, clearing an overgrown parcel, or a full cleanup after a storm rolls through, one call covers it — and because Mims sits at the top of the route, you're not paying somebody to drive an hour to get to you.
What Mims Properties Are Up Against
On acreage, Bahia is the grass that makes sense — it lives on rainfall and shrugs off heat. The trade-off is summer seed stalks: give a Bahia field five days in July and it's waving tall seed heads that make the whole property look unmowed. In season, a standing weekly cut is what keeps a big lot looking managed instead of abandoned.
Mims also sits at the cold end of Brevard County — the old citrus freeze country. Lawns here brown out harder in winter and wake up a little later in spring than they do down toward Cocoa, and a January cold snap can nip back tender plantings that sail through winter closer to the coast. None of that is a problem; it just changes the calendar.
Plenty of Mims properties run irrigation off a well. The St. Johns River Water Management District watering rules apply to wells too — two days a week during daylight saving time, one in winter — and well water's sand and iron are hard on sprinkler nozzles, which is why clogged and mis-spraying heads are one of the most common finds on rural systems.
A Year on a Mims Property
Spring (March–May)
Green-up after the winter brown-out — the first big cut of the year, well and sprinkler checks, and the start of the growing season's mowing rhythm.
Summer (June–September)
Bahia seed-stalk season. Weekly cutting keeps acreage looking sharp, storm season brings down limbs worth a cleanup pass, and fence lines and ditches need trim work all season long.
Fall (October–November)
Growth slows: time for tree and shrub trimming, mulch, and knocking down brush before winter.
Winter (December–February)
Dormant Bahia may only need a cut every few weeks — which makes winter the best season for clearing overgrown parcels, hauling debris, and hardscape projects on big lots.
Mims Landscaping FAQ
Do you mow large lots and acreage in Mims?
Yes — larger properties are normal for the Mims part of the route. Call (772) 267-3615 with the rough lot size and how much of it is actually maintained turf, and Mike can give you a realistic quote for a standing schedule.
Can you clear an overgrown lot or do a one-time cleanup?
Overgrown-property rescues are a regular job — knock-down mowing, brush and debris hauling, and getting the lot back to something a normal mow schedule can maintain. One-time cleanups don't require an ongoing contract.
How far north do you go — Scottsmoor? Oak Hill?
Scottsmoor is on the regular route. North of that, toward Oak Hill, depends on the job — larger projects are usually worth the trip, single small mows may not be. Call and Mike will give you a straight answer either way.
What's the best grass for a big Mims lot?
Bahia for the open acreage — it lives on rainfall, takes the heat, and doesn't need an irrigation system to survive. Around the house, where there's usually a sprinkler system, St. Augustine gives you the thicker, greener yard. Mixing the two is the standard setup on large Mims properties.
Why does my Bahia look shaggy a few days after mowing?
Summer seed stalks. From late spring through early fall, Bahia sends up tall V-shaped seed heads within days of a cut — the grass itself is fine, it's just going to seed. A weekly cut in season is the only thing that keeps a Bahia field looking consistently neat.
Do watering restrictions apply if I'm on a well?
Yes. St. Johns River Water Management District rules cover wells and pumps, not just city water — two watering days a week during daylight saving time, one during standard time, never between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Your days depend on your address, so check the district's current schedule.
