Why South Florida is Different
Most landscape maintenance guides written for the Southeast use a four-season framework of spring, summer, fall, and winter. In Palm Beach County, that framework does not fit. What actually shapes maintenance timing here is the split between dry season and wet season, layered with hurricane season from June through November.
That means palm fertilization is a February concern, not a spring one. The biggest planting window opens in October, not April. Pruning schedules are set by wet-season fungal risk, not by dormancy. Hurricane structural work becomes a maintenance category of its own. And freeze protection matters more than snow load ever will.
The calendar above is built specifically for the way Palm Beach County landscapes actually behave. If your current maintenance schedule was copied from a generic Southeast guide, it is likely misaligned with what your property needs right now.
