Palm Care & Nutrition in Orlando & Central Florida

Palms are a signature feature of Central Florida landscapes. From stately sabal and date palms to queen and foxtail palms around pools and driveways, they give Orlando homes that unmistakable Florida look. But palms have unique nutritional and health needs—treating them like regular shrubs or trees often leads to yellowing fronds, weak growth, and early decline.

Gato Lawn & Pest Control offers palm-focused care programs that support the health, color, and structure of your palms as part of your overall lawn and landscape plan.

The Gato Annual Lawn Care Program

The Gato Annual Lawn Care Program offers a simple and effective solution for year round lawn care. You’ll receive monthly lawn treatments that include lawn fertilizer, weed control and lawn feeding insect control to protect against chinch bugs, sod webworms, army worms, grub worms, mole crickets, fleas and fire ants as well as lawn and shrub disease control. With the Gato Annual Lawn Care Program, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your lawn is protected by expert technicians dedicated to maintaining a healthy and pest-free lawn.

Common Palm Problems in Central Florida

Palms in our area commonly suffer from:
1

Yellow or bronze fronds from nutrient deficiencies

2

Fronds that are stunted, twisted, or deformed

3

Stress from poor planting depth or soil conditions

4

Insects such as scales or chewing pests on fronds

5

Bud and spear issues when the growing point is compromised

Because palms grow from a central bud, damage to that bud can be serious. Our job is to identify problems early and support palms before decline becomes irreversible.

How Gato Cares for Palms

Palm care typically includes:

Nutritional programs

Delivering the right blend of macro- and micronutrients on a schedule suited to palm growth

Visual inspections

Looking for discoloration patterns, frond deformities, and early signs of bud problems

Insect and scale management

Targeted treatments when pests are detected on fronds or trunks

Site evaluations

Checking planting depth, soil conditions, and irrigation coverage around palm beds

We adjust programs by species—what’s right for a slow-growing specimen palm may be different from what’s needed for a row of queen palms along the driveway.

Palms Within the Whole Landscape

Palms often share planting beds with shrubs and groundcovers, and they’re influenced by lawn irrigation and fertilizer. Gato coordinates palm care with:

Shrub and bed treatments, to avoid over-stressing palms

Lawn programs, so fertilizer and weed control don’t negatively impact root zones

Tree and shade planning, to avoid competition that can weaken palms over time

Our goal is a balanced landscape where palms remain strong focal points, not maintenance headaches.

Our Service Areas

We cover a wide range of service areas throughout Central Florida. Including: Orange County, Osceola County, Polk County, Seminole County & Lake County. If you don't see your service area, contact us today.
