Miami, FL – meet custom DIY lawn care

In Miami's warm climate, St. Augustine and Bermuda grass grow quickly and need frequent mowing. During peak growing season (April-October), mow every 5-7 days. In slower winter months (November-March), mow every 10-14 days. Always maintain 3.5-4 inches height for optimal lawn health.

For Miami's tropical climate, apply fertilizer regularly from March through October when grass actively grows. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Use iron supplements to maintain color and control weeds through spot treatment rather than blanket applications. Keep grass height at 3.5-4 inches to shade soil and retain moisture.
