Lawn care for Hollywood, a beachfront Broward city

The City of Hollywood describes itself as a beachfront community in southeastern Broward County, midway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with seven miles of beaches and the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk along the Atlantic Ocean. Earthly Exteriors is based west of there, at 14221 Luray Road in Southwest Ranches, and provides lawn care, landscape installation, Clusia hedge sales and planting, paver driveways and walkways, tree trimming and removal, and stump grinding for residential properties. If you live in Hollywood and want a free estimate, call (786) 285-3191 or email info@earthlyexteriors.com. There is no online quote form.

A Hollywood yard can sit a few blocks from the Broadwalk or much farther west, inland toward the rest of Broward. Tighter lots near the coast often put hedges, palms and a driveway in full view of the street. Larger inland yards may have more lawn to keep even. The work we list on our brochure is the same: professional mowing and edging, weed trimming and seasonal cleanup, hedge shaping and garden-bed care, and plant removal when a bed has to be cleared. A walkthrough is how we see the property before we recommend a schedule.

Hollywood’s watering hours are tighter than the District default

Hollywood follows a two-day watering schedule, but the city’s own hours are narrower than the South Florida Water Management District’s usual window. The District rule, Chapter 40E-24 of the Florida Administrative Code, bars landscape irrigation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Hollywood’s published code and the city’s Water Restrictions and Landscaping page go further: irrigation is not allowed during the day, and allowed hours run from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. In other words, a controller set to finish at 9:30 a.m. or start at 4:30 p.m. might be legal under the District rule and still be outside Hollywood’s hours. Check the city rule, not only the District flyer, before you set a timer.

The watering days themselves match the rest of Broward. Odd-numbered addresses may irrigate on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Even-numbered addresses may irrigate on Thursdays and Sundays. The city states that, in general, there is no watering of lawns and landscapes on Monday, Tuesday or Friday. Those limits are in City of Hollywood Code of Ordinances § 51.116, last amended by Ordinance O-2024-18. They are also summarized on the official Water Restrictions and Landscaping page.

New sod and plantings get a short establishment period. According to the city, new landscaping may be watered without regard to the usual restrictions on the day it is installed. From day two through day 30 it may be watered every day except Friday, during the allowed hours. From day 31 through day 90 it may be watered on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, again during the allowed hours. Extra days apply only to the new planting, and an entire irrigation zone may be run only if at least half of that zone is new landscaping. Hand watering with a self-canceling nozzle and low-volume irrigation are treated as exclusions under § 51.117. Rules can tighten in a declared water shortage, so confirm current days and hours with the city if conditions change.

Having two legal days still does not mean both must be used. UF/IFAS recommends watching the lawn for thirst — folded blades, a blue-gray tint, and footprints that remain — then applying about 1/2 to 3/4 inch when it needs water. Early in the allowed morning window, before 9 a.m., is the practical time to do that in Hollywood.

Planting, hedges, pavers and tree work

Once the lawn is on a steady schedule, many Hollywood properties need cleaner beds or a better screen. Landscape planning and installation, tropical and native plant selection, mulch, decorative stone, renovations and grading are how we rebuild those spaces. Clusia hedge sales, delivery and planting are a named service when you want a privacy hedge spaced and installed in one job. Our guide to Clusia hedges for South Florida privacy is a useful preview if you are still measuring the run. Paver driveways, walkways, garden paths and driveway repairs, plus palm and tree trimming, removals, stump grinding and cleanup, are the same hardscape and tree services listed on the homepage. We do not publish prices or licenses on the site; a free estimate is how you get a number for your Hollywood address.

Fertilizer: check Hollywood’s current code

Do not assume Hollywood shares another city’s summer fertilizer blackout. Neighboring Fort Lauderdale prohibits fertilizer that contains nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30. Hollywood’s currently published landscape regulations require landscaped areas to be sufficiently fertilized and irrigated, but we did not find a matching rainy-season ban in the adopted code we reviewed. A city agenda item has discussed Florida-Friendly fertilizer standards that would define a June 1–September 30 rainy season, so the rule may change. Before any nitrogen or phosphorus fertilizer is planned, we check the ordinance that is actually in force at your address.
