Northeast Florida keeps a dry season most newcomers never expect: April and May, when the rain holds off, the sand bleaches pale and loose, and the margins of a lawn begin to curl and fade. That is when a watering system proves its worth, and Daniels Landscape & Irrigation lays out the lines and heads that carry a yard across those thirsty weeks to the first big thunderstorm of summer. Then the pattern flips — towering clouds gather by mid-afternoon, thunder rattles the porch screens, and the schedule can step back and let the sky do the work. Between the two seasons, the landscaping takes shape: beds edged and filled, shrubs placed to stand up to heat that rarely lets go. The reward is a yard that looks as alive in the parched days of May as it does in the soaking ones of August.
