Why Heroic
The crew that already knows your yard is the crew that lights it.
Most yards in Southside get handed between a rotating mowing crew, a sprinkler guy, a designer and — for six weeks a year — a Christmas-light company that has never seen the property before. Heroic is all of it, on the same route, all year.
We fix the sprinklers too
Most mowing crews can't touch irrigation. Broken zone, stuck valve, misaimed head, dead timer — that's an in-house repair, not a second contractor.
One call covers the whole yard
Mowing, hedges, weed control, design, install, hardscape, lighting. One invoice, one point of contact, one person accountable.
We're already on your street
Route density in 32216 means faster response on a broken head or a storm limb — and no trip-charge padding to get here.
What we do
Everything outside the house, handled by one company.
Six services, one crew, one number to call. Design and lighting included — not farmed out.
Lawn maintenance
Mow, edge, line-trim and blow — weekly through the growing season, bi-weekly through winter. Hedges and weed treatment on the same visit.
See what's included →
Irrigation repair & service
Zone diagnostics, valve and solenoid replacement, head realignment, controller programming and seasonal timer adjustments. We repair systems we didn't install.
Common repairs →
Landscape design & planting
Bed layout, plant selection for Florida sun and shade, shrub rows, palms, sod and seasonal colour. Drawn to the yard you actually have.
How design works →
Mulch, beds & edging
Cut edges, clean bed lines, mulch refresh and bed rebuilds. The single fastest way to make a yard look maintained.
Mulch options →
Hardscape — patios & walkways
Paver patios, flagstone paths, front walks and borders. Graded, based and laid by the same crew that maintains the yard afterward.
See hardscape work →
Landscape & holiday lighting
Path lights, uplighting on oaks and palms, façade wash and transformer setup — plus the full December display, installed and taken back down.
Lighting design →Maintenance plans
Year-round agreements, not one-off cuts.
Weekly April through October, bi-weekly November through March. Same crew, same day, same route — which is exactly why we can be there fast when something breaks.

Plan customers get first pick of the December lighting calendar — and the landscape-lighting design that goes in during the spring. We're already on the property; the roofline, the outlets and the ladder positions are already in our notes.
Landscape & holiday lighting
In December, we already know your roofline.
The lighting specialists meet your house for the first time in November. We've been on the property every week since spring. We know where the outlets are, where the ladder sits safely, and which oak limb is in the way.
Landscape lighting — the other eleven months
Path and step lighting, uplighting on oaks and palms, façade and entry wash, plus transformer, timer and low-voltage runs laid out around the irrigation zones we already mapped. Designed with the beds, not bolted on after them.
Holiday lighting — the full season, one price
- Design walk-through and layout for your roofline
- Commercial-grade LEDs cut to your house — not retail strings
- Install, timers and power sorted
- Mid-season service calls if a run goes dark
- Takedown in January
- Off-season storage — nothing lives in your garage
Booking note: November and the first week of December fill first, and plan customers are scheduled before the calendar opens publicly. If you want lights up before Thanksgiving, the conversation happens in September.
Send a photo to (904) 303-6819 and we'll price it — no site visit needed to get a number. Lighting starts from $X.

Areas served
We're already on your street.
Heroic runs out of 718 Monte Carlo Rd in 32216. The tighter the route, the faster we get to a broken sprinkler zone or a limb down after a storm — so we build the schedule around a handful of Southside neighborhoods rather than the whole county.
Just outside the list? Call anyway — (904) 303-6819.
What neighbors say
5.0 stars on Google.
Roughly 47 reviews and no visible negatives across nine years. Customers name James personally — which is the whole point of not being a rotating crew.

Review slot 1Paste a real Google review here, quoted exactly and short, with the reviewer's first name and neighborhood. Nothing ships in this space until James confirms the wording and the attribution.
Review slot 2Ideally a review that mentions both the year-round lawn work and the Christmas lights in the same breath — that pairing is the positioning, in a customer's own words.
Review slot 3Ideally an irrigation repair or a storm-response review, since that's the capability the commodity mowing crews can't match.
Questions
The things people ask before they call.
How often should a Jacksonville lawn be mowed?
St. Augustine grass grows fast here from April through October — weekly is the right cadence, and skipping to every other week in summer scalps the blade and invites weeds. November through March the growth slows and bi-weekly is usually enough. That's exactly how our plans are structured.
When should weeds be treated in St. Augustine grass?
Pre-emergent goes down before soil temperatures climb in late winter, with a second application in early fall. Post-emergent spot treatment happens on regular visits. St. Augustine is sensitive to several common herbicides, so product choice matters more than frequency.
Do you repair irrigation you didn't install?
Yes — most of our irrigation work is on systems somebody else put in. Zone diagnostics, stuck valves, broken heads, cut lines and controller programming are all in-house. We don't sub it out.
How far in advance should I book Christmas lights?
September is the right time to have the conversation. November and the first week of December fill first, and maintenance-plan customers are scheduled before the calendar opens publicly.
Do you take the lights down afterward?
Yes. Takedown in January and off-season storage are included — nothing ends up in your garage. Mid-season service calls are included too, so a dark run gets fixed rather than waiting until next year.
Do you do landscape lighting as well as holiday lighting?
Both. Landscape lighting — path and step lights, uplighting on oaks and palms, façade wash, transformer and timer — is designed alongside the beds and laid out around the existing irrigation zones. Holiday lighting is the seasonal layer on top.
What areas do you cover?
Grove Park, Holiday Hill, Glynlea and the surrounding Southside neighborhoods around our 32216 base, plus Lakewood and San Jose. If you're just outside that, call and ask — route density is the reason we keep it tight.
Do you require a contract?
Maintenance plans are year-round agreements because that's what makes the schedule and the pricing work — weekly in the growing season, bi-weekly in winter. One-off cleanups, installs, hardscape and lighting are quoted individually.
Tell us what the yard needs.
Call or text James directly. Send a photo if it's easier — for lighting and mulch work that's usually enough to give you a number without a site visit.
