Landscaping and irrigation
What do Orlando-area lawn rules ask of a landscaping crew?
Orange County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.
The rest of the year, fertilizer with phosphorus is barred unless a soil test shows the area needs it, at least 65% of any nitrogen has to be slow-release, and no more than 1 pound of nitrogen goes on per 1,000 square feet.
All year, no fertilizer within 25 feet of a waterway, and none while the National Weather Service has a severe thunderstorm, flood, tropical storm or hurricane advisory out. A commercial applicator needs the Green Industries Best Management Practices training and an FDACS limited commercial fertilizer applicator certificate.
Seminole County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.
Fertilizers carrying iron, manganese and other micronutrients, the summer blends, can still go on during the restricted season.
The county adopted the ordinance as a condition of its stormwater (MS4) permit, because summer rain washes fertilizer off yards and into the lakes and rivers before plants can take it up.
Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties lie wholly or partly in the St. Johns River Water Management District, whose year-round rule bans lawn watering between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and sets the days by the address: two a week in daylight saving time, one in standard time.
Parts of Orange and Osceola counties lie in the South Florida Water Management District, which sets watering days by whether the address ends in an odd or an even number.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District has extended its Modified Phase III water shortage restrictions through March 31, 2027, and they cover parts of Lake County: lawn watering one day a week, set by the last digit of the address.
