Cost of Lawn Fertilization in St. Petersburg

The cost of lawn fertilization nationally ranges from $103 to $343, and fertilization prices in Saint Petersburg 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?

St. Pete has fertilizer restrictions to protect the waterways and wildlife, so be sure to check the environmental guidelines before you start. Like much of Florida, St. Pete prohibits the use of fertilizer from June 1 to September 30.

Apply the first round of fertilizer in the early spring, then the second and third applications can be done in the fall. We suggest you use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring and fertilizer-free micronutrients throughout the rainy season.

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

You can, of course, fertilize your lawn yourself, or you can hire a lawn care pro to apply fertilizer two or three times a year. If you go the DIY route, you’ll need to ensure you’re abiding by the city ordinances, plus buy the materials and tools.

If you hire a lawn care pro, there’s no need to worry about getting your hands dirty or worrying about a schedule. Instead, you can spend your time having fun with friends and family, enjoying the arts scene, kayaking, checking out the Salvador Dali Museum, or relaxing on the beach.
