Southwest Florida lawns and landscapes face year-round stress from heat, humidity, heavy rain, sandy soil, and constant insect pressure.

Without a structured program that applies the right treatment at the right time of year, turf thins out, weeds take over, fire ants build mounds across the yard, and palms and ornamentals lose vitality to whiteflies, scale, and nutrient deficiency.

A single bag of fertilizer from the hardware store applied at the wrong time can burn turf, violate local nitrogen blackout ordinances, or feed weeds instead of grass. Generic insect sprays miss the species causing damage.

Palms and ornamental plants require formulations and schedules different from turf. Effective lawn and landscape care in Southwest Florida requires a 12-month program built around the specific seasonal needs of your property.

Southwest Florida Lawns and Landscapes Need Year-Round Care to Survive

There is no dormant season in Southwest Florida. Turf grows, weeds germinate, and insects feed 12 months a year. The combination of sandy, nutrient-poor soil, heavy summer rain that leaches fertilizer, and relentless pest pressure means your lawn and landscape need active management every month to stay healthy.

Lawn challenges:

Weeds exploit any gap in turf density. Without pre-emergent fertilization in the spring and targeted spot treatments throughout the year, crabgrass, dollarweed, and broadleaf weeds spread faster than turf can recover. Fire ants build mounds across the yard within days of rain. Armyworms, sod webworms, and cutworms chew through turf overnight, leaving brown patches that homeowners mistake for drought stress. Grubs feed on root systems below the surface where damage is invisible until the turf dies. Sandy soil in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and Sarasota counties drains nutrients fast, requiring soil amendments to retain what fertilization puts in.

Palm, tree, and shrub challenges:

Palms in Southwest Florida are highly susceptible to nutrient deficiency, especially potassium and manganese, which causes frond yellowing and decline. Whiteflies, scale, mealybugs, and spider mites continuously attack ornamental plants and hedges. Citrus thrips, aphids, and leaf-feeding caterpillars damage new growth. Without regular feeding applications formulated specifically for palms and ornamentals, and bi-monthly pest control sprays, landscape plants decline steadily and become expensive to replace.

Applying hardware store products without a seasonal plan does not address:

Nitrogen blackout periods enforced by local municipalities (applying nitrogen during blackout windows violates local ordinances)

Species-specific insect pressure that changes month to month across lawn and landscape

Soil chemistry that requires amendments, not just fertilizer, to retain nutrients in sandy Florida soil

The different fertilization schedules required for turf vs. palms vs. ornamentals

Grub and caterpillar damage happening below the surface or overnight where homeowners cannot see it

Without a structured 12-month program, your lawn and landscape fall behind every season and the cost to recover compounds.

SWF Lawn & Landscape Care FAQs

What is the difference between the three programs?

Complete Home Lawn Care covers your turf: fertilization, weed spot treatments, granular pest control, grub control, and soil amendments across 12 monthly visits. Complete Home Palm, Tree, Shrub & Ornamental Care covers everything that is not turf: palm feeding, ornamental fertilization, and bi-monthly pest control sprays across 6 visits. Complete Home Lawn Pest Control is a pest-only option providing 12 monthly granular applications for lawn insects without fertilization or weed control. Programs can be combined to cover your full property.

What insects does the lawn pest control cover?

Monthly granular applications target fire ants, ticks, fleas, armyworms, cutworms, sod webworms, bluegrass weevils, billbugs, leafhoppers, mealybugs, and black turfgrass ataenius beetles. These are the primary lawn-damaging insects in Southwest Florida.

What insects does the palm and ornamental program cover?

Bi-monthly pest control sprays target bagworms, cutworms, webworms, lacebugs, whiteflies, citrus thrips, moths, scale, mites (clover, broad, spider), Japanese beetles, leafhoppers, mealybugs, aphids, tent caterpillars, gypsy moth caterpillars, leaf-feeding caterpillars, elm leaf beetles, twig borers, spittlebugs, and weevils.

What happens during the nitrogen blackout period?

Some municipalities in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and Sarasota counties restrict nitrogen application during summer months to protect waterways. Paske honors all city, county, and state fertilizer ordinances and uses supplemental products during blackout periods to maintain lawn and landscape health without violating local regulations.

Does the program include sod, tree, or plant replacement?

No. Lawn and landscape care programs are designed to maintain and improve the health of existing turf, palms, trees, and ornamental plants through fertilization, soil amendments, and pest control. Plant health is also affected by irrigation practices, mowing height, shade conditions, soil compaction, and weather events. These external factors can impact results regardless of treatment, and plant replacement is not included in any program.

What if I see weeds or pests between visits?

If weed or pest issues appear between scheduled visits, re-treatment is provided at no additional cost. That is the Paske satisfaction guarantee. Contact the office and your technician will return to address the problem.

Are the treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes. All products are EPA-registered and applied according to label directions. Your technician advises on any temporary access restrictions, such as keeping pets and children off treated areas until the product dries or is watered in, before each application.

How long is the service agreement?

The initial agreement is 12 months. It automatically renews for an additional 12-month period at the current service rate unless cancelled with 30 days written notice prior to the anniversary renewal date. Lawn and landscape health requires consistent, year-round treatment. A 12-month commitment ensures your property receives every seasonal application needed for lasting results.

Can I combine lawn care and palm/ornamental care?

Yes. Most properties in Southwest Florida benefit from both programs. Combining Complete Home Lawn Care with Complete Home Palm, Tree, Shrub & Ornamental Care covers your entire property on one coordinated schedule. Your technician handles both during scheduled visits, and all work is documented together.

What if my lawn already has existing damage or disease?

Pre-existing conditions are assessed during the initial property evaluation. Your technician documents any current damage, disease, or pest pressure and sets expectations for recovery. Some conditions, such as heavy grub damage or advanced palm nutrient deficiency, require multiple treatment cycles before visible improvement. The earlier a program starts, the faster the recovery.
