Default Fertilizer?

I am taking possession of our new home in the second week of May. I have lined up the lawn mowing, trimming, weeding and pest maintenance. Now on to fertilization. The current owner has his lawn fertilized monthly by Scotts for about $40/month. That sounded like a lot to me, so I contacted the University of Florida extension service and they said lawn should only be fertilized about every three months.

When I told that to Scotts, they said no....I then suggested every other month and they said they would do it... but no guarantees.

My son, who lives in Orlando does it bi-monthly and said his lawn is always green.

So, I am looking for a recommendation as to fertilization frequency as well as some companies who do this service. I appreciate your help.
