Florida lawn care doesn’t take a day off. That’s especially true in Kissimmee, where the weather is beautiful year-round.

Below, you’ll find a calendar for Kissimmee lawn care and landscaping projects to help your yard thrive and look its best.

Spring:

• Lawn Care: Kissimmee’s mowing season, like the rest of Florida, is year-round. Florida lawns require mowing once per week on average.
• Shrub Pruning: To minimize harm to the plants, prune shrubbery in late winter or early spring during periods of slow growth.
• Mulching: The best time of year to mulch in the Kissimmee area is mid to late spring.
• Irrigation: Florida lawns should get between 1 and 1.5 inches of water weekly. Be mindful of Kissimmee’s watering restrictions.
• Fertilizing: The best time of year to apply fertilizer is during or immediately before your lawn’s active growth period. Central Florida areas like Kissimmee range from April to September. Be mindful of Osceola County’s Fertilizer Management Ordinance.
• Planting: Kissimmee’s growing season lasts year-round.

Summer:

• Lawn Care: Florida’s warm-season grasses experience the most growth during this period. To keep up, increase your watering and mowing schedule.

Fall:

• Lawn Care: Grass growth is winding down in this period, so decrease mowing and watering accordingly.
• Hardscaping: Fall and winter are the best times of year for outdoor projects like hardscaping. The weather is ideal, and landscaping prices are low during the slow season.

Winter:

• Lawn Care: Lawn growth slows in winter but does not stop. Mow and water as necessary.
• Leaf Cleanup: Leaves fall in winter in Kissimmee. Get them up quickly so they don’t smother your turf.
