Does a hundred-year-old oak canopy really change how often my turf needs cleaning?
Yes. TIMELESS Turf Restoration sees far more leaf, acorn and moss debris on turf under The Dunes Club's century-old live oaks than on a typical Myrtle Beach lot, and left alone it packs into the infill and feeds algae in shaded corners. The fix is a shorter interval between visits, not a different process.
Key takeaways
- Century-old oaks drop moss, acorns and leaves — shortening the cleaning interval.
- Gated behind a brick wall; no turf rule published either way.
- Dunes Cove's younger trees mean less debris, longer intervals.
- PGA Tour event each May — schedule cleanup before, not during.
A 1948 course, a walled neighborhood
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club opened in 1948 to a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, redesigned by Jones himself in 1976. The residential streets around it sit gated behind a brick wall — we check in there, not at the clubhouse.
What the oak canopy leaves behind
- Leaves, most of fall and winter
- Acorns that can jam a power brush
- Spanish moss, blown down in any wind
- Pollen paste every spring
Left to mat under a fence line, it feeds shaded algae — a shorter interval clears it before that happens.
Brian prices it by square foot before any work starts, and every job ends blown clean.
Gate access, no turf rule on file
Dunes Cove: same neighborhood, younger yard
Dunes Cove's newer homesites have young, sparse tree cover and newer turf, so the debris load is lighter than the historic streets, at least for now — these lots usually land on a longer cleaning cycle.
Tournament week and coastal wind
The course has hosted the PGA Tour's Myrtle Beach Classic since 2024, and homes closest to it get the same salt-spray exposure as any oceanfront yard. Book a cleanup just before tournament week each May, not during it.
