When you live down the street from “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” you may feel like the only thing that will keep your lawn looking good is magic. Between the scorching sun and heavy rains, Orlando lawns take a beating.

But magic isn’t what you need –– it’s fertilizer. Your grass needs nutrients to stay strong and thrive, and LawnStarter makes it easy to book lawn fertilization and other lawn treatments.

Cost of Lawn Fertilization in Orlando

The cost of lawn fertilization nationally ranges from $103 to $343, and fertilization prices in Orlando fall in the middle of this range.

What affects the cost of fertilization?

• Size of your yard (larger yards will cost more)
• Number of treatments (more treatments, lower per-treatment price)
• Type of fertilizer (liquid or granular, fast or slow-release, etc.)
• Cost is often lower if bundled with other services

When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

The first fertilizer application of the year should be in the spring after your grass has started growing. Once you’ve needed to mow it once or twice, go ahead and apply the fertilizer. Your second and third applications should follow in the summer and fall, but keep in mind that Orange County prohibits the use of fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus between June 1 and September 30.

The City of Orlando suggests that residents use a zero-phosphorus fertilizer since Florida soils typically are rich in phosphorus naturally. If your lawn needs a boost in the summer during the fertilizer ban, we recommend using a fertilizer-free mixture, containing grass clippings or compost.

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

If yard work is a hobby you enjoy, then adding fertilization to your repertoire is a great idea. Just remember that you’ll have to purchase and store the equipment and materials.

However, if you hire a lawn care pro, you can cross fertilization off your to-do list. Forget about buying and storing the materials, accumulating more equipment, and worrying about another schedule. We’ll handle it all for you—hassle-free.
