Coastal Florida’s warm climate allows for green lawns almost all year, but salt air, sandy soil, and frequent storms make lawn care more demanding. Practicing year-round lawn care can help keep your grass healthy and green in every season.
Spring: Prep for Growth
Spring is the time to start feeding and reviving your lawn.
- Apply a slow-releasenitrogen fertilizer
- Aerate compacted sandy soil to improve water absorption
- Reseed bare patches before the heat picks up
- Start mowing weekly once growth resumes
Summer: Water and Mow Smart
Hot, humid summers require focused attention.
- Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation
- Mow at a higher setting to protect roots from heat
- Watch for pests like chinch bugs and treat early
- Avoid over-fertilizing in extreme heat
Fall: Strengthen Before Storms
Fall storms can damage lawns if they’re not in good shape.
- Clear fallen debris quickly
- Apply potassium-rich fertilizer to strengthen roots
- Overseed to fill thin areas
- Check for drainage issues before heavy rains
Winter: Light Maintenance
Florida winters are mild, but growth slows down.
- Mow less frequently, only when needed
- Pull weeds by hand to avoid chemical stress
- Avoid fertilizing unless directed by a soil test
- Rake leaves to avoid mold or turf damage
