Your Central Florida lawn requires a different maintenance program in the winter than it does in the summer. During the summer months the lawn is growing and actively taking up fertilizer and water.

And of course they aren’t as green as they were during the warm months. With a little knowledge you can work to keep your lawn as healthy as possible through your winter mowing, irrigating, and fertilizing practices.
