St. Augustine Grass Treatment Schedule
Season |
Purpose of each service visit to your lawn |
December / January |
Our winter visit is important to your lawn's appearance in the cooler months of the year. We will inspect and treat for insects, if necessary. Because many lawns continue active growth during the winter, we apply a special fertilizer to enhance root growth and winter color. |
February / March |
Our early spring visit promotes green-up and recovery from winter stress. The fertilization and/or weed control products applied will control existing winter weeds and thicken your lawn to prevent future weed problems. |
April / May |
We fertilize your lawn to maintain its color and improve turf vigor into the summer. Your lawn is also inspected for insect and disease problems. We also apply a specially formulated fertilizer to maintain your lawn's density and color. |
June / July |
Because of potential stress from summer heat, we inspect your lawn for weed, insect and disease problems. If excessive crabgrass is a problem, we will discuss control options available to you. We also apply a specially formulated fertilizer to maintain your lawn's density and color. |
August / September |
Early fall is the time to rejuvenate your lawn recovering from summer stress. This visit thickens the grass, promotes root growth and turf color. We also inspect for insects and treat as needed. |
October / November |
Our late fall fertilizer promotes root growth and plant vigor important to winter survivability and early spring green-up. Fall weed problems will be treated as well. |
Seasonal Schedule

Early Spring
Our first visit is designed to promote recovery from winter stress and early spring greening. We apply broadleaf weed control, weather permitting.
Spring
In the spring, your lawn needs extra nutrients to maintain color and density. While delivering nutrient treatment, we also inspect and treat weeds in your lawn.
Early Summer
Summer conditions can stress your lawn. To prepare for the warm season ahead, we fertilize, look for problems, and treat surface-feeding insects* and weeds as necessary.
Midsummer
Care continues with a summer fertilizer application that helps maintain color without encouraging excess growth. Weather permitting, weed control is applied as needed.
Late Summer
Your lawn needs help to rebound from summer stress. We provide proper fertilization to facilitate recovery, and to maintain control on weeds and pests.
Fall
We fertilize to help thicken your lawn and encourage new root growth. We continue to inspect for insect and weed problems, and treat as necessary.
Late Fall
The late fall application promotes the root growth and food storage important for your lawn’s survival during the winter. We also treat your lawn to prevent winter weeds.
Winter
In Florida, weeds can be a problem, even in winter. In the winter, we inspect your lawn and treat it as needed to prevent late-emerging weed problems. We also fertilize if necessary.
