Gato Lawn & Pest Control Serves Orlando and Central Florida
Central Florida is tough on lawns and landscapes. Heat, humidity, sandy soils, sudden storms, and year-round growing seasons make it hard to keep grass, shrubs, trees, and palms healthy without a plan. Add in weeds, lawn insects, fungal disease, and mosquitoes, and it can feel like your yard is working against you.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control offers a comprehensive Lawn & Shrub Care program for Orlando and surrounding Central Florida communities. We don’t just “spray the yard.” We look at your entire landscape—turf, shrubs, trees, palms, irrigation, and outdoor living spaces—and build a custom plan to keep everything greener, healthier, and more comfortable all year long.
From the grass under your feet to the palms over your head and the air around your patio, Gato’s integrated approach blends fertilization, weed control, insect and disease management, mosquito misting systems, and outdoor cooling solutions into one coordinated service.

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.

Complete Lawn & Shrub Care for Orlando Homeowners
Our climate is unique. Most Orlando lawns are a mix of St. Augustine, zoysia, or Bermuda grass growing in sandy soils that leach nutrients quickly. Shrubs and ornamentals are under constant stress from heat and periodic drought. Palms and trees face their own challenges with storms, nutrient deficiencies, and root issues.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control designs lawn and landscape programs that account for Central Florida’s specific conditions: high humidity, frequent afternoon rain, and long growing seasons. We time treatments to the weather and the needs of your landscape, not just the calendar.
Lawn Care: Thick, Green, and Weed-Resistant
Your lawn is the foundation of your curb appeal. Gato focuses on building a dense, healthy turf that naturally resists weeds, insects, and disease.
Our lawn care services can include:
- Balanced granular and liquid fertilization tailored to your grass type
- Pre- and post-emergent weed control for crabgrass, sedges, broadleaf weeds, and more
- Monitoring and treatment for lawn insects like chinch bugs, armyworms, and grubs
- Fungus management for issues such as brown patch and dollar spot
- Recommendations on mowing height, watering schedule, and cultural practices
Instead of chasing problems after they appear, we build a program that supports your lawn through every season.
Shrub & Landscape Bed Care
Shrubs, flowering plants, and groundcovers frame your home and make your property feel finished. In Central Florida, they’re also constantly under attack from:
- Leaf-chewing and sap-sucking insects
- Fungal leaf spots and root diseases
- Nutrient deficiencies caused by sandy, fast-draining soils
Gato’s shrub and landscape bed care focuses on plant health from the roots up. We use targeted fertilization, insect and disease management, and bed-specific treatments to keep foliage full, color vibrant, and growth controlled—without overusing products or stressing plants.
We also watch for issues with mulch depth, irrigation coverage, and soil conditions that can cause subtle decline over time.
Tree Care for Shade, Structure, and Value
Mature trees provide shade, privacy, and significant value to your property—but they also need care. In Central Florida, trees face root stress from construction and irrigation, storm damage, soil compaction, and a variety of pests and diseases.
Gato’s tree care services may include:
- Deep-root fertilization to deliver nutrients below tough, sandy surfaces
- Insect and mite management for common tree pests
- Disease monitoring and treatment recommendations
- Guidance on pruning cycles and structural health (in coordination with tree professionals when needed)
We focus on keeping trees healthy so they’re more resilient in storms and less prone to breakage or decline.
Palm Health & Protection
Palms are an iconic part of Florida landscapes—but they’re not just “big shrubs.” They have unique nutrient needs and can struggle with deficiencies, bud issues, and diseases if not managed properly.
Gato’s palm care programs are designed to:
- Provide slow-release nutrients and micronutrients that palms need
- Monitor for signs of stress, discoloration, or bud problems
- Address insect and scale issues on fronds when necessary
- Coordinate palm care with your overall lawn and shrub program
We treat palms as specialized landscape investments, not just another plant in the yard.
Mosquito Misting Systems for Comfort & Protection
A beautiful lawn isn’t much use if mosquitoes chase you back inside. As part of our outdoor solutions, Gato installs and maintains mosquito misting systems that help protect high-use areas like patios, pools, and outdoor kitchens.
These systems:
- Use discreet lines and nozzles around your outdoor living spaces
- Release a fine mist on a programmed schedule during peak mosquito hours
- Integrate with your overall mosquito and landscape strategy
When combined with our traditional mosquito yard treatments, misting systems help keep your outdoor spaces usable even in peak mosquito season.
Outdoor Cooling Systems for Hot Florida Afternoons
Central Florida summers make patios and pool decks brutally hot in the afternoon. Gato’s outdoor cooling systems—often integrated with high-pressure misting technology—can lower the perceived temperature in key zones so you can enjoy your yard more often.
We can design systems that:
- Use high-pressure mist to cool air without soaking surfaces
- Tie into pergolas, patio covers, or screen enclosures
- Complement your mosquito and lawn programs for a complete outdoor comfort package
Our goal: your Orlando backyard feels like a resort, not an oven.

Lawn & Shrub Care Pillar – FAQs
What does Gato Lawn & Pest Control include in its lawn and shrub care program for Orlando homes?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control’s lawn and shrub care program for Orlando and Central Florida homes can include turf fertilization, weed control, insect and disease management, shrub and ornamental plant care, tree and palm nutrition, and optional mosquito misting and outdoor cooling systems—all tailored to your property’s specific needs.
How often should I have professional lawn and shrub treatments in Central Florida?
Because Central Florida has a year-round growing season, Gato Lawn & Pest Control typically recommends a recurring schedule of lawn and shrub treatments throughout the year. The exact frequency depends on your grass type, landscape density, and pest pressure, but most Orlando properties benefit from regular service rather than sporadic one-time visits.
Are Gato’s lawn and shrub products safe for kids and pets?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control selects lawn and shrub care products appropriate for residential use and applies them according to label directions. We’ll let you know if any short re-entry period is needed after an application and provide clear instructions so kids and pets can safely return to treated areas.
Can Gato handle my lawn, shrubs, trees, palms, and mosquito control together?
Yes. Gato Lawn & Pest Control is set up to manage your entire outdoor environment—lawn, shrubs, trees, palms, mosquito misting systems, and general pest control—under one coordinated plan. This integrated approach helps avoid conflicts between services and makes it easier to keep everything healthy and comfortable.
How long does it take to see results from Gato’s lawn and shrub care program?
Many homeowners see improvements in color and density within the first few visits, especially as weeds are suppressed and nutrient levels improve. More severe issues—such as thin turf, stressed shrubs, or long-standing disease—may take several months and multiple treatment cycles to fully turn around. Gato Lawn & Pest Control focuses on sustainable, long-term results rather than quick, temporary fixes.
Does Gato Lawn & Pest Control serve my neighborhood in the Orlando area?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control serves a wide range of Orlando and Central Florida neighborhoods, including many communities across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and nearby counties. If you’re unsure whether your home is in our service area, our team can quickly confirm coverage and recommend a lawn and shrub care plan for your property.
