Seasonal lawn fertilization keeps your turf fed at the right times, so your lawn stays thick, green, and resilient through South Florida’s heat, rain, and stress cycles.

Instead of one-time applications that fade quickly, O’Hara Pest Control builds a recurring, season-based plan tailored to your grass type and current conditions. You’ll get consistent nutrient support, routine lawn checks, and a schedule that helps your lawn hold its color and density while reducing the openings weeds love.

What Lawn Fertilization Does for Your Property

A healthy lawn needs the right nutrients in the right amounts—delivered consistently.  Fertilization supports:

  • Greener color and more even growth

  • Thicker turf that competes better against weeds, not quick spikes

  • Stronger roots for better drought and heat tolerance

  • Improved recovery after heavy rain, foot traffic, or seasonal stress

  • Healthier ornamentals when your plan includes landscape support

Fertilization works best as part of a plan. Most lawns don’t need “more fertilizer.” They need better scheduling.

Seasonal Lawn Fertilization Schedule for South Florida Lawns

Seasonal lawn fertilization is built around how warm-season turf grows in Florida. Your lawn’s needs change throughout the year, so your treatment schedule should change with it.

A seasonal strategy typically focuses on:

  • Spring ramp-up: support for returning growth and early green-up

  • Summer performance: steady feeding during peak growth and heat

  • Late-season resilience: preparing turf to handle stress and maintain density

  • Cooler-month support: lighter adjustments based on growth rate and conditions

We don’t treat every month the same. Your plan is scheduled to match the season, rainfall patterns, and what your lawn is doing right now.

Our Fertilizer Approach: Consistent Feeding, Cleaner Results

Fertilization should support your lawn—not create new problems like scorching, uneven growth, or “green stripes.” Our program uses professional-grade products and application methods designed for consistent coverage.

Granular fertilization for steady support

Granular fertilizer is applied evenly across turf and watered in through irrigation or rainfall. Many lawns respond well to controlled-release feeding that delivers nutrients over time rather than all at once.  

Benefits often include:  

  • More even color

  • Less risk of overfeeding in one spot

  • Support that lasts between visits when paired with a recurring schedule

Organic vs synthetic: what matters most

Some homeowners prefer organic inputs. Others prefer traditional synthetic blends. Both can play a role depending on goals and conditions.

  • Organic fertilizers come from natural sources and can support soil health over time.

  • Synthetic fertilizers are formulated for predictable nutrient ratios and targeted results.

The better question is usually: What does your lawn need this season—and what schedule supports it?

Fertilization + Weed Pressure: Why a Program Beats Spot Treatments

Weeds love thin turf and stressed lawns. Fertilization alone won’t “kill weeds,” but it can reduce how easily weeds take over by helping grass grow denser and compete better.

A strong program often combines:

  • Seasonal fertilization

  • Weed prevention timing

  • Targeted weed treatments when needed

  • Monitoring thin areas where weeds are most likely to return

If your lawn continues to develop weeds in the same areas, that’s usually a sign that the turf needs stronger support and a more consistent plan.

Our Process: Inspect → Apply → Monitor

Seasonal lawn fertilization works best when it’s treated like ongoing care, not a one-time drop-off.  

Timing your fertilization with rainfall is also important. The best time to fertilize your lawn is after hard rainfall or following a deep watering.

1) Inspect

We look at turf density, color, stress zones, and growth patterns. That helps confirm what the lawn needs now, not what it needed months ago.

2) Apply

We apply fertilization according to the season, lawn condition, and grass type. Coverage and application rate matter, so the goal is even results—not patchy growth.

3) Monitor

Recurring plans make it easier to adjust if your lawn hits a rough patch due to heat, heavy rainfall, pests, or disease pressure.

  • Grass type (St. Augustine vs Bermuda vs zoysia, etc.)

  • Current condition (thin, stressed, patchy, or already healthy)

  • Soil and irrigation patterns

  • Time of year and growth rate

  • Weed pressure and landscape layout

Instead of forcing your lawn into a generic schedule, we recommend a plan that matches your property’s reality.

Residential & Commercial Seasonal Fertilization Plans

We provide seasonal lawn fertilization for:

  • Homeowners who want consistent curb appeal

  • Property managers and landlords who need predictable service

  • Commercial sites where appearance impacts tenant and customer experience

  • HOA/POA communities looking for clean, maintained turf at scale

If you manage multiple properties, recurring plans keep service organized and easy to coordinate.

Lawn Aeration and Soil Support (Optional, When It Helps)

Some lawns struggle because nutrients aren’t reaching roots efficiently due to compacted soil, thatch, or poor drainage. In such cases, soil-support services like aeration can enhance your lawn's response to fertilization.

If we believe your lawn would benefit from soil support, we’ll explain why—and then incorporate it into a plan that remains practical.

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

Warm-season lawns often do best with a recurring, seasonal plan. The ideal frequency depends on the type of grass, lawn condition, and the time of year.
