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.

I do my own. I purchase Scott's seasonal stuff (Turf Builder) for Zoysia grass at Lowes or Home Depot. I apply once every 3 mos. Water once or twice a week. I mow it myself with a non motorized reel mower. My lawn is green, lush and it cost me about 120 bucks a year plus the water cost.
