I remember thinking when I closed on my new Villages home that the lawn looked absolutely awful. For that matter, so did the lawns of almost every one of the new homes in my neighborhood!
Lawns are always a challenge in Florida. I remember that from my childhood days in South Florida. But, for the developer to put in such poor lawns on new homes, I thought, did not reflect well upon the developer....despite otherwise nicely put together homes.
All that means is that the developer bought sod from sod farms that were less than decent. Not everything in a new house is going to be top notch! So, I just lived with it...and still do. The spotty lawn that existed at my house is still a challenge to make perfect. The lawn companies here are also pretty shoddy. They get great prices for so-so work. To do it myself requires more work than I can do at my age. But, do it I must...if I am to have a proper looking lawn!
