Lawn Fertilization Service
Proper fertilization gives your lawn 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 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.

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.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“I would definitely recommend ABC!! They were professional, courteous, and did a great job. During the treatment my blinds had to be removed, and they graciously put them back up before they left. Blair came three weeks later to do a follow-up check and was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me more information and suggestions in regards to staying bed bug free. He even carried my large Amazon package into the garage for me. I would definitely recommend them for all your pest control needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Do your research, but this is the company to choose for your pest and rodent control. A new townhouse community is being developed in an adjacent wooded field, so all these woodland creatures started relocating to our established neighborhood. I get it, this land was theirs before it was ours, but after 20 years, they had no right to move into my house rent free. The cute hares/ rabbits were ok at first. They would flop around, and the worst they would do is leave small chocolate eggs in the yard. But when we heard scurrying in the attic, our anxiety levels started to rise. We were already overwhelmed by a pipe bursting in the garage in February due to a flash freeze. Then we noticed droppings as the restoration company came and cleared out the garage. But we really didn't connect all the dots because simultaneously we were caring for my 85 year old grandmother who was on hospice care from terminal breast cancer. So our hands were a little full at the time. But when we saw evidence that there was probably a mouse or something, we had to make it a priority. I called 3 or 4 local companies for quotes. 2 came to the house and 2 acted like they could care less about actually securing my business but were willing to quote hundreds of dollars for the service. One thing that stood out was the other companies said they would plug the holes leading into the house, but 2 said they don't go into the attic. Well that's where we heard them and so it didn't make sense to not go in the attic to hunt them down. Then Kirby from ABC came out. He did a thorough inspection and designed a plan to attack the problem. They definitely weren't the cheapest company, but they provided the best proposal with the strongest warranty. So we pulled the trigger. The crew was very professional and plugged holes and set traps. And the we waited. But there were no dead mice for weeks. So they came back out and found more holes to plug. Then the rodents got more desperate. One was bold enough to entire the kitchen at night. I was ready to burn down the entire house. Frustration was level 10. By this point my grandmother had passed away. Grief plus phobia and a general sense of absolute exhaustion had settled in. All the techs that came out were nice, friendly, professional and courteous, BUT we were sick of the rats running our house. I was also frustrated by what seemed to be a long wait between reporting sightings and an available appointment time. Mark Rodriguez came out and did a good job observing the situation and he realized that a supervisor was needed for a solution. Enter Kenneth! He was absolutely amazing. Between crawling through the attic and discovering new holes to tracking down a food source (a case of mac snd cheese boxes) in the garage that my grandmother left months before her passing (she was always prepared for when her great-grandchildren came over), Kenneth understands the mind of a mouse and the rationale of a rat. He made it his mission to eliminate these evils. And one by one, he did. Kenneth is a hero in our household. He will be receiving a Christmas card this year. My grandmother's dying wish was to rid the house of these invaders, and Kenneth and his team were able to accomplish that. It was worth ever penny for the complete customer care and warranty on the work. If you are looking for a quality solution, you've found it. Be patient, because rodents can be tricky and hard to eradicate, but ABC is committed to the long haul.”
