Do I need to sign up a landscaper Dec 2nd or is there so little growth in Dec that I can wait until the first week in Jan to find someone?

Once down there, I can ask my neighbors who they use, but if I have to sign someone up a month before my arrival, how would I find out which landscapers are already working in the neighborhood?

Thanks!
We had the same quandary. This is the dormant season, BUT you need to have your sprinklers set to water frequently for your new sod IF you have a new home here.

You could ask your sales agent what to do. He/she might could set your sprinklers and check your lawn.

If you want to know the names of your neighbors, go to the county property appraisal site. (Lake, Marion or Sumter) Find a name of a closeby neighbor and call them. People are usually very helpful to new neighbors here.
