What months should I fertilize my lawn is a popular question for our Palm Beach County customers. Unlike most Northern states and even parts of Northern and Central Florida, in South Florida your lawn grows year-round no matter what type of sod you have. St. Augustine, Bahiagrass, Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass all need proper care and each has different irrigation and nutrient needs. Having your soil tested can tell you more precisely what nutrients are missing and needed most. But the single biggest factor when it comes to fertilizing your lawn is to only fertilize when your lawn is actively growing.

But you also need to make sure you are doing things properly and legally. Fertilizer runoff in many areas is a leading cause of pollution to South Florida’s lakes, rivers and estuaries. If you insist on fertilizing your own lawn, please check with city and municipal ordinances. When in doubt, just ask!
