Your lawn deserves more than just fertilizer

A beautiful lawn doesn't happen by accident. It takes the right nutrients, proper watering, healthy soil, and a professional who understands how everything works together.

Our premium Turf Care programs combine professional-grade fertilizers, customized lawn nutrition, seasonal turf monitoring and our expertise in irrigation systems to help your lawn look its best throughout the year.

Whether you have St. Augustine or Zoysia grass, we build a program around your lawn's specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all treatment schedule.

Getting started

Free Turf Care enrollment quote

There's no charge to get a quote for Essential, Signature or Elite. We measure your treatable lawn and recommend the option that fits.

Optional: Comprehensive Turf & Irrigation Assessment — $190

A standalone service. We evaluate your lawn, measure its treatable area, identify the grass type, collect a soil nutrient sample, review your irrigation system (up to six zones) and give you detailed turf care recommendations.

Program pricing is based on actual treatable turf area, not total property size. Membership payments cover a year of seasonal services spread across 12 months, not monthly applications. Essential is billed per treatment. Weed, insect and disease treatments are not included. Additional zones, irrigation repairs and specialized corrective services are quoted separately.

Why it's different

What makes our turf care different?

1

Professional-grade fertilizers

Carefully selected commercial-grade fertilizers, including controlled-release granular nutrients and specialized liquid treatments, chosen for healthy growth, rich color and strong roots, not just a temporary green.

2

Customized for Florida grass

St. Augustine and Zoysia have different needs. We consider your grass variety, soil conditions, growing season and property-specific concerns before recommending treatments.

3

Irrigation expertise

Fertilizer can't fix a lawn that gets too much or too little water. Because irrigation is our specialty, we spot coverage, drainage and watering problems. Any repairs are explained and priced separately first.

4

Responsible, seasonal applications

More fertilizer isn't always better. We follow Florida-friendly practices, seasonal restrictions and proper application rates. During restricted periods, visits focus on turf evaluation, irrigation and permitted nutrients.

5

You'll know what's happening

Digital service reports document your lawn's condition, the services performed and our recommendations, so you always know what you're paying for.

When we fertilize

Fertilizer is applied by a Florida GI-BMP certified applicator, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart and scheduled around your county's rules. Here is a typical calendar for a St. Augustine lawn in Lake County. Your plan is set after your assessment.

Lake County does not allow fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus on lawns from June 1 to September 30. That's when our Emerald X summer treatment takes over, our own program for keeping St. Augustine deep green through the summer while following the ordinance.

Turf Care FAQ

Programs & fertilizing

How often will you fertilize my lawn?

Fertilizer applications are scheduled according to your grass type, soil conditions, seasonal growth and local regulations. Not every service visit requires fertilizer. Some visits focus on monitoring, irrigation performance or targeted nutrient needs.

Will my lawn stay green all year?

Our goal is to keep your lawn as healthy as possible throughout the year. However, seasonal temperatures, drought, watering restrictions, pests, soil conditions and other environmental factors can affect turf color and growth. We do not guarantee year-round green color.

Do you treat weeds, chinch bugs or lawn fungus?

Our Turf Care programs focus on fertilizer, soil nutrition and turf health evaluations. Herbicide, insecticide and fungicide treatments are not included. We can identify visible warning signs and recommend next steps, but pest and disease prevention or control is not guaranteed.

Do you service St. Augustine and Zoysia grass?

Yes. Both are included in our Florida turf nutrition programs.

What is the difference between Essential, Signature and Elite?

Essential is pay-per-treatment fertilization with no membership required, starting at $95 per treatment. Signature includes six scheduled visits per year, and Elite includes eight scheduled visits per year plus an Annual Comprehensive Irrigation Inspection and soil reassessment.

Does the monthly payment mean you come every month?

No. Signature and Elite membership payments cover a year of seasonal services spread across 12 monthly payments. They are not monthly applications. Fertilizer treatments depend on lawn needs, seasonal conditions and local regulations.

Turf Care FAQ

Billing, quotes & watering

Do I need an irrigation system?

An operational irrigation system or another suitable way of watering is strongly recommended. Proper watering is essential for fertilizer performance and healthy turf growth.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Signature and Elite memberships have no long-term commitment, and you may cancel at any time, subject to our published cancellation and billing terms. Essential is pay-per-treatment, so there is nothing to cancel.

Is there a charge for a quote?

No. Turf Care enrollment quotes are free. Our $190 Comprehensive Turf & Irrigation Assessment is available as an optional standalone service if you want a detailed evaluation.

Are irrigation repairs included?

No. If we find a sprinkler problem affecting your lawn, we explain it and quote the repair separately before doing any work.

Lawn care tips

Three habits of a great Florida lawn

Mow tall

Keep St. Augustine grass at 3.5 to 4 inches. Taller grass grows deeper roots, shades out weeds and handles heat better.

Water deeply, not daily

Water only when the lawn needs it, and apply about ½ to ¾ inch each time. Signs it needs water: folded blades, a blue-gray color, and footprints that stay.

Feed on schedule

Fertilize during the growing season at label rates. More is not better, and Florida counties have rules about when and how much.

Tips based on University of Florida IFAS turfgrass recommendations. See our Florida watering guide.
