Every tier is billed per visit, never monthly. Programs are tailored to grass type (St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda), adjusted to what the soil and turf are actually showing at each visit, and built around South Florida’s seasonal timing — not applied the same way to every lawn on the same schedule. Aeration and palm & tree nutrition can be bundled into any tier on the same visit calendar.

• How is this different from a standard fertilization program?

  Most programs apply the same products on the same dates regardless of what the lawn is showing. Granular goes down in February, again in April, repeat. That’s fine for an average lawn in average conditions — but it misses the lawn losing color despite adequate nitrogen because the pH locked out iron, the lawn that needs potassium before summer heat, and the lawn whose sandy soil flushes everything before the roots take it up. A program built around what’s actually happening catches these and adjusts both the products and the timing. It also means inputs aren’t applied when they aren’t needed, which matters for the lawn and for the environment.

• What happens during the June–September fertilizer blackout?

  From June 1 through September 30, Palm Beach County rule prohibits applying nitrogen and phosphorus to turf and landscape. It doesn’t mean the program goes quiet — potassium isn’t restricted, and it’s both the nutrient our sandy soil leaches fastest and the one that drives root strength and stress tolerance, so it becomes the backbone of the summer visits alongside chelated iron, micronutrients, and biostimulants. The wet season is also the best window of the year for core aeration and soil work. One local note: a handful of cities — North Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and the Town of Palm Beach among them — extend the restriction through October 31, and we run the longer window on properties there.

• How quickly will results be visible?

  Nutritional improvements show up in 5–10 days with liquid applications and 2–4 weeks with slow-release granulars. Color and density improvements from chelated iron and micronutrient applications are usually visible within a week. Soil health and biostimulant benefits compound across visits as the biology builds — meaningful improvement in overall turf resilience typically shows by the second or third visit cycle.

• Do programs differ by grass type?

  Significantly. St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Bermuda have different nitrogen demands, growth cycles, micronutrient sensitivities, and root depth profiles. A nitrogen rate that pushes Bermuda into peak growth can over-stimulate St. Augustine. Potassium timing differs by variety. Iron and manganese supplementation targets depend on which grass type and what the soil pH is doing underneath it. The program gets built and adjusted around the specific grass on the property — not applied generically.

• Where do aeration and soil testing fit in?

  Both are foundational rather than optional extras. Soil testing is what makes a program targeted instead of generic — pH, nutrient levels, and organic matter data drive every amendment choice. Aeration opens compacted, sandy soil so fertilizer, micronutrients, and amendments actually reach the root zone instead of resting on the surface. Aeration is scheduled into the growing season and folds into the same visit calendar as the rest of the program.

• What’s the difference between granular and liquid fertilization?

  Granular fertilization releases nutrients slowly over weeks — it’s the foundation of steady growth and is what’s working between visits. Liquid fertilization absorbs quickly through roots and leaves for faster, more even results — it’s how to push growth or color during peak demand and deliver mid-cycle adjustments. The Essential Program runs on granular alone; the Advanced Program adds liquid feeding between granular visits; the Signature Program layers chelated micronutrients, sea kelp, and humic/fulvic acids on top of both. See the fertilization page for the full breakdown.

• Can palms and trees be added to the program?

  Yes. Palm and tree & shrub nutrition runs on four visits per year and syncs to the same visit calendar as the turf program. Palms get a palm-specific blend formulated for South Florida’s alkaline soils; trees and shrubs get deep-root feeding into the active root zone. Adding landscape nutrition to a turf program is straightforward and gets confirmed during the initial assessment.

• Is it safe for pets and kids after a visit?

  All products are applied following label directions and standard re-entry intervals. The general rule: keep people and pets off treated areas until dry. Organic and bio-based inputs have minimal re-entry requirements — and if pet and family safety is the priority, our organic program leans on lower-toxicity inputs throughout. Re-entry timing for each product gets communicated directly so there’s no guessing.

• Do you offer an organic or lower-toxicity option?

  Yes. The organic program leans on bio-based nitrogen, biological soil builders, biostimulants, and integrated pest management in place of routine synthetic applications — for households prioritizing pet, kid, and soil safety. The same diagnose-first standard applies; the difference is the toolkit. We’ll talk through the trade-offs honestly during the assessment so the choice fits your priorities and your lawn’s condition.

• Do you do soil testing?

  Yes — soil testing is available as part of any program and as a standalone service. A test is the difference between correcting the actual problem and guessing at it. pH, nutrient levels, and organic matter data guide amendment choices and long-term fertility direction. Visit the soil testing page for what a test covers and how results get used.
