Landscaping and irrigation
What do Tampa Bay-area lawn rules ask of a landscaping crew?
Hillsborough County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.
Nitrogen fertilizer has to be at least 50% slow-release, and no fertilizer goes on within 10 feet of any surface water.
Pinellas County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.
Granular fertilizer with nitrogen has to be at least 50% slow-release, and fertilizer stays 10 feet from the top of the bank of any surface water, the landward edge of a seawall or a designated wetland.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District has extended its Modified Phase III water shortage restrictions through March 31, 2027, and they cover all of Hillsborough County, all of Pinellas County, all of Pasco County and all of Hernando County: lawn watering one day a week, set by the last digit of the address.
