What's the best grass for a Florida lawn?▾
St. Augustine (Floratam, Palmetto, ProVista) dominates South and Central Florida — it tolerates heat and shade well. Zoysia is the premium choice for drought tolerance and dense growth. Bahia handles the Panhandle's poorer soils. Bermuda is common at golf courses and athletic fields but doesn't tolerate shade. Pick the variety that matches your sun exposure.
When should I fertilize my Florida lawn?▾
Florida fertilizer ordinances (most coastal counties) ban or restrict nitrogen applications during the rainy season (June 1 – September 30). Best timing: spring application (Feb–May), fall application (Oct–Nov), and a slow-release iron-based product for color in summer. Always follow the 'Florida-Friendly Fertilizer' rules to avoid runoff fines.
What's destroying my Florida lawn?▾
Top culprits: chinch bugs (St. Augustine), grubs (Bahia/Zoysia), army worms (after rains), brown patch fungus (winter wet/cool), gray leaf spot (humid summer), and fertilizer burn from over-application. A licensed lawn-care tech can diagnose with a 5-minute walk and treat for $80–$200 per application.
Do Florida lawn care companies need a license?▾
Mowing and edging don't require a state license. Pesticide and herbicide application requires a Limited Lawn & Ornamental Certificate from the Florida Department of Agriculture. Always ask to see the cert before letting anyone spray on your property — unlicensed application is illegal and homeowner-liable.
