Rainfall in Hilton Head Island and Bluffton behaves differently than inland rain 🌧️. Sudden downpours followed by long dry stretches place unique stress on landscapes.

Heavy rain can wash nutrients through sandy soil before plants have time to absorb them. This leads to nutrient deficiencies even in well-maintained lawns. Effective landscaping strategies counteract this by improving soil structure and adjusting fertilization timing.

Managing rainfall is not about eliminating water—it’s about controlling how water moves through the landscape. Landscapes designed with rainfall in mind recover faster and remain healthier year-round.
