A local crew that knows Tequesta’s rules and riverfront.
Tequesta is a village of about 6,200 residents (2020 Census) at the north end of Palm Beach County, between the Loxahatchee River and the Atlantic, just south of Jonathan Dickinson State Park. It began in the 1950s as a planned community built around Tequesta Country Club.
Ordinance-ready installs
Tequesta’s fertilizer ordinance bans fertilizer for 30 days after sodding and near water. Our after-care plans follow it, so nothing goes down that the village doesn’t allow.
Riverfront and waterfront experience
Homes on the Loxahatchee and the Intracoastal mean seawalls, docks and shoreline buffers. We plan staging and protect hardscape.
Matched to the property
A shaded lot under mature oaks, a sunny golf-course home and an oceanfront property need different grasses. We match variety and prep to the actual yard.
Guided after-care
Watering, mowing timing and the right time for first nutrition through the establishment window.
What Tequesta lawns actually deal with
Tequesta mixes river and ocean frontage with established, tree-lined streets. Its fertilizer ordinance is stricter than many people expect, and it applies to new sod.
No fertilizer at sodding
Tequesta’s fertilizer ordinance (Ord. 01-21) prohibits fertilizer before seeding or sodding and for 30 days after, bans nitrogen and phosphorus from June 1 through September 30, and requires at least 50% slow-release nitrogen. We time after-care around it.
Shoreline buffers
No fertilizer within 10 feet of water or a seawall (3 feet with a deflector shield), and a 10-foot low-maintenance zone along shorelines. Riverfront and canal-front installs are planned with those buffers in place.
River and ocean salt
Lots near the Intracoastal and the ocean take salt air. Salt-tolerant St. Augustine such as Floratam and Palmetto, or Zoysia, holds up best.
Mature trees
Established streets have a heavy canopy. CitraBlue and Palmetto handle filtered light better than Floratam; see the best sod for shaded lawns.
Swale lawns
The village asks residents to keep swales mowed and unpaved, and limits artificial turf to 10% of the required landscape area with a permit. Real sod on the swale is the typical answer.
Certified fertilizer applicators
Anyone applying fertilizer commercially in Tequesta needs Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices training and state certification, with proof required for a village business tax receipt. It is worth asking any lawn provider for theirs.

FAQs from Tequesta homeowners
The questions we hear most about Tequesta properties. Anything not covered here gets addressed during the on-site assessment.
Can new sod be fertilized right after installation in Tequesta?
No. Tequesta’s ordinance bans fertilizer before seeding or sodding and for 30 days after. Our after-care plan focuses on water and mowing first, then schedules nutrition once the window has passed and outside the June–September restricted season.
Which sod variety works best in Tequesta?
Sunny lots usually suit Floratam St. Augustine; shaded yards under oaks suit CitraBlue or Palmetto. For a dense, upscale finish, Zoysia such as EMPIRE is worth considering.
Do you work in Tequesta Country Club and other HOAs?
Yes. Our HOA sod installation proposals include the certified variety, scope and certificates of insurance that associations typically request.
Which grass handles salt air best?
How is new sod watered under the water restrictions?
South Florida’s watering rule limits established lawns to two days a week, with no watering from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but new plantings get extra watering days for up to 90 days. We set a new sod watering schedule that stays within the rules.
Are you licensed and insured in Palm Beach County?
Yes. Licensed and insured for Palm Beach County, with current certificates available on request — often required by associations, clubs and gated communities. More about who we are.
