Lawn Fertilization: Lawn Care Service
Proper lawn fertilization gives your grass a healthy appearance. With the harsh weather that Houston lawns face, it’s no wonder it can be hard to keep them lush year-round. If you notice that you can’t get your grass and plants to thrive, ABC Home & Commercial Services can help. Our lawn care service specialists can make a custom lawn fertilizer schedule, so you can have a greener, healthier lawn.
Choose ABC for Year-Round Lawn Care
Knowing what type of fertilizer to use, when to use it, and the perfect amount for your lawn can seem daunting. The important thing is getting it right. When you choose ABC Home & Commercial for your lawn services, you can sit back and enjoy the benefits.
What you can expect from a consistent lawn fertilizer schedule:
- Rapid recovery from dead patches and dry spots
- Thicker grass and resistance to stressors such as extreme weather
- Faster growth and a vibrant shade of green
- Specialized care so that your lawn is ready for all seasons
Once an ABC lawn care specialist visits your home for an inspection, we will recommend a lawn treatment schedule based on the seasons.
Here is how our process works:
- In early spring, we apply a unique blend of fertilizers to your lawn to begin healthy growth and recovery from the winter.
- During the spring, fertilizers and micronutrients are applied to help prepare your lawn to thrive in the hot, Houston summers.
- In the midsummer heat, we use carefully selected fertilizers and micronutrients to maximize the color and beauty of your grass.
- During the fall, we apply premium fertilizers to extend the green radiance of your lawn. Additionally, we apply insect control and post-emergents for pesky weeds to keep your grass looking great into the winter.
- In the winter, winterization nutrients along with pre-and post-emergent weed controls are used to prolong the color of your lawn and to promote root growth, food storage, winter hardiness and weed control.
There are many factors to consider when creating a lawn fertilizer schedule that works for your home. Consult with our lawn care specialists today for a free estimate.

There are many factors that can contribute to a Houston homeowner looking into having their lawn fertilized. These may include noticing a lack of growth, browning, spots or weeds in the yard and the presence of bugs. Due to our climate, Houston yards are especially susceptible to disease and insect activity. That’s why getting the right nutrients on a consistent schedule is essential to lawn care.
Get Started
We can turn your vision for your yard into reality.
Since opening in 1949, ABC has been offering Houston residents the services they need to keep their property beautiful and one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Our community tells us that they appreciate that we take great pride in hiring only the best of the best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a certain time of year that’s better to have my lawn fertilized?
ABC can help you with getting your lawn looking great anytime. After our years of experience helping Houston homeowners with lawn treatment, we have built up the expertise to know how to help a lawn flourish at any time of year. Regardless of the time of year, the materials and products we apply to your lawn are selected for their effectiveness and environmental safety.
How often should I have my lawn fertilized?
We understand that every Houston lawn is different, which impacts how we will treat it. That’s why our experts make a custom lawn fertilizer schedule, so we can take into account the unique aspects of your yard and help it to thrive. To keep your lawn in tip-top shape, we recommend a lawn treatment once a month, but we do offer a bimonthly service as well.
What types of fertilizer products do you use?
We keep the well-being of our customers’ families and pets in mind with all of the products we choose. The products we select are commercial-grade, while still being kid and pet-friendly. Our trained lawn care technicians will also avoid treating areas where fish and reptiles are present.
Do I need to be home during this service?
We understand that Houston residents have busy lives. One benefit of ABC lawn care is that, in many cases, homeowners can be out having fun or running errands while our professionals are working hard. We just ask that our team members are given any necessary information to do their work, which may look like authorization to enter gated communities, gate code if required or access to the backyard. We ask that pets and children are indoors while we are performing lawn treatment services, out of concern for their safety.

“Having dealt with several pest control providers in the past, I have to say I’m impressed with ABC. Their communication is excellent (text messages about appointments, arrival times, etc.), and their pricing is fair. We’ve been really pleased with the termite treatments. No sign of any danger at all, so they know what they’re doing. I highly recommend them.”

“I woke up New Year’s morning to the sound of a stampede of raccoons, running through my attic and crawlspace from the first floor to the third floor… ABC came out right away, set the traps, came out again check the traps check the traps again and then sanitized my attic and sealed my whole house from top to bottom against rats, mice, bats, and anything else imaginable And it came with a very good warranty and I can renew a year later for a small amount… Excellent service”
