Lawn fertilization in Winter Garden
Fed on a soil test and a calendar that follows Orange County’s rules, not a truck schedule. Weeds treated, and the cause named.
What’s included
What the fertilization program includes
Six feedings a year is a sales calendar. We feed what the soil test says the lawn can use, when the county allows it.
- Soil test before the first application, with the numbers shown to you
- Slow-release feedings in spring and fall
- Spot weed control through the year
- Iron and micronutrients in summer to keep color without nitrogen
How we do it
How we feed a Florida lawn
The soil test comes first
A lawn at pH 8 fed with iron stays yellow, and the owner gets told it needs more iron. We test before the first application and show you the number.
The summer restriction is real
Winter Garden and Orange County don’t allow nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 to September 30. Those months are about mowing height, water and spot weed control.
Weeds are a symptom
Sedge and dollarweed mean too much water. Crabgrass means thin turf, usually cut too short. We treat what’s there and fix what let it in.

Questions
Fertilization & weed control questions
Why didn’t you fertilize this month?
From June 1 to September 30, Orange County doesn’t allow nitrogen or phosphorus on lawns, because summer rain washes it into the lakes. Your card says so rather than going quiet.
How often should a St. Augustine lawn be fed?
Usually spring and fall, with iron in summer for color. The soil test and how the lawn is growing decide it, not a fixed number of rounds.
Will weed control kill my lawn?
Not when the product matches the grass and the weather. Some weed controls damage St. Augustine above 85°F, which is why summer treatment is spot-only.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
We tell you what was applied, by name, on the yard card, and how long to keep off the lawn. For most granular feedings it’s until the lawn is watered in.
