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:Yellow or bronze fronds from nutrient deficiencies
Fronds that are stunted, twisted, or deformed
Stress from poor planting depth or soil conditions
Insects such as scales or chewing pests on fronds
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.
