I love the plant selection, not large, but always unusual. Excellent customer service.
Staff is awesome. They are all so smart. Helpful and amazing. They came out and did soil samples and are helping me get my lawn top notch. Rebecca is a great person. They also have lovely plants and rare ones as well.
Very nice plant store located in Oviedo just down the street from the Oviedo Mall. Great selection of easy to grow and semi-exotic plants. Prices are fair and staff was helpful. I found this small business via Instagram and I am so happy I came by!
In just one year my lawn has gone from rags to riches. I highly recommend Do It Yourself Lawn and Pest. I was using a well known landscaping service for 5 years. My lawn just kept getting weaker and weeds were becoming more abundant. I went to DYI Lawn and Pest. Rebecca said, "follow the program". I did and the results have been amazing. Attached are before and after pictures. Going forward it will be easier to maintain and yes, I will continue to "follow the program."
Love the plant selections and customer service amazing place to visit.
I can’t say enough good things about DIY Lawn. Our lawn was a complete disaster. We had tried three different lawn services with no positive results. Our lawn was full of the nastiest weeds along with many bare spots. We had decided to pull up the lawn and start over. However, my husband decided to give it one last shot and went to DIY. Rebecca gave us a complete rehab plan. Six months later we literally have the most beautiful, thick, healthy, weed free grass in the neighborhood. I am amazed that grass that sick could be saved! It’s a process, but if you follow the calendar and the products that she recommends, you will not be sorry! My grass looks so much better than it ever did when I had a service spray. Thank you so much!
This shop is spectacular! They have an amazing selection of plants. Everything you need to keep plants healthy. Knowledgeable and friendly. And the TERRARIUMS!!! Oh my goodness, of the most stunning things I’ve ever seen.

Very helpful staff and knowledgeable
Is being a couple of weeks now and is working really really good
Very knowledgeable staff.. helped me with my ant problem instantly
Way overpriced.
Good ideas for your small project
Nice and knowledgeable
Strongly recommend this place. The owners take the time to ask you and tell you what you need and how to apply the products. For a year I had an issue with a mite that I could not get rid of. The owner was super helpful and explained the process and the product I should use.
Beautiful plants that are well priced! Love spending all my money there!
I always come here for my pest and garden needs.
Told us what to get for flying ants.
Wide selection and willing to take your info if they are waiting for something to come in thats out of stock to let you know.
Very friendly people
My favorite plant shop in the area! They have Fox farm, rare plants, and really affordable prices! Love this shop!
Great
DIY Lawn and Pest aka Oviedo Plants is a very nice shop with a constantly rotating supply of plants and very kind staff members. I dont think Ive ever been able to stop in without picking something up. They occasionally will have seedlings of rare plants for a great deal - I picked up an Alocasia cuprea for $16 just last month.
I m a beginner indoor plant mom and I ve noticed a lot of nurseries around have the same plants, and fairly expensive. This store had very unique options that I haven t seen anywhere else, and best of all, for a FAIR price!! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff as well. Will definitely be coming back.
Excellent selection and great customer service
Great unique plants.
I would have to admit, I need to go to DIY Lawn and Pest more often. The team here really knows their stuff. Plenty of advice to provide you with the best curb appeal lawn and garden.
They are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
My favorite plant shop! Always beautiful options and some of the best prices in town!
This is the place to go for all the garden needs, personalize lawn care,everything is diy.Rebecca and friends. will explain to you how to do it, products are way better than the home depot ones. Good service
I would like to thank Alex again for walking my 9 year old daughter around the store and teaching her about different plants today. It was really nice. The plants were all well priced and looked happy and healthy. We will be back!
Helpful friendly staff.
Always helpful!
Great, helpful and very knowledgeable staff. This place is a gem.
The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to get me exactly what I needed right away and answered all my questions.
They were very knowledgable on products . A bit expensive though
Great place! Plant selection is bar none!!
Very nice staff with a huge selection of products. Its worth a visit!
Love them
Excellent service and good prices. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They suggested what I needed without upselling things I didnt. And he clearly enjoyed his job and felt helping others was worth his time.
I adore this plant shop. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind, and the prices on houseplants here are simply the best of any central Florida plant shop or nursery, hands down! I can t imagine shopping for houseplants anywhere else.
I visited this place for the first time today and was not disappointed. The store has absolutely beautiful, healthy plants and what I would consider to be great in pricing. It was an overall very pleasant experience, with friendly and welcoming staff. I will definitely be visiting this place again, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.
I got two plants, one of them had fungus gnats. However, both plants are very healthy and growing beautifully. Just sad I had to treat the gnats considering this is a place that gets rid of pests.
Really nice people that work here and beautiful array of plants. But i bought 2 plants from here and unfortunately they both had fungus gnats. Odd for a place that is to control pests.
I generally like this place because they don t TYPICALLY price gauge but it is pretty disappointing to see that they seemingly bought all of the hoya compacta baskets from the big box store nearby and resold them for almost triple the price (this is all alleged of course but they were in the same baskets you get from costa farms at those stores and they were just released only to be sold out immediately, then I went here and found about 5 of them for $45.) I just expected more and the fact that they re knowingly contributing to the plant market being inflated does feel pretty frustrating. I drove around all morning from box store to box store looking for them to no avail and then stopped by DIY only to see this... makes me mad/frustrated to say the least. Not sure I ll go back just on principle
It s really disheartening to see a local place I once sang praises about take advantage of their own community. Beware that it seems as if DIY has been picking up hanging baskets at big box stores to flip them & mark them up for 3x the price. I m glad I noticed the ripped off HomeDepot tag but I won t be returning since I don t know what other unethical practices they might take part in. They are addicted to watering here too so make sure you check your plants for root rot.
Excellent time there. Great collection of plants and prices very reasonable!
Amazing service! Love the pixie plants
Great place and knowledgeable. I used them one a few years back to restore my St. Augustine lawn and it came back to life. Still using them today and happy. No BS just straight to the point on what to do and NOT to do
Not for me
Excellent...nice
A good source for pest control with a variety of products and knowledgeable employees.
This review is regarding the nursery , I love buying plants from this location so much. :) They have such a wonderful selection and a lot of more rare plants that a lot of people drool over on my tiktok page. I am so grateful for this shop, the selection is beautiful and everything is priced so well. The staff is knowledgeable and I never feel uninformed when I leave. Thank you for opening your shop and y all s hard work!
Very knowledgeable staff!
Very helpful employees
Knowledgeable staff with great variety of Pest control items.
Awesome service at Do it yourself Lawn and Pest. The young lady at the counter is always so nice and professional. She seems very knowledgeable and willing to go that extra step to help the customer.
Great experience here. Their recommendations initially helped us with an indoor spider problem and some lawn pest problems. We havent had any issues since. We just returned for advice on treating some more inside pests. They were super helpful and explained what we should do. The employees have been really friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and go above-and-beyond with their customer service. We drive 45 minutes just to come here.
Priceless knowledge and always willing to help and advice. I virtually use zero pest, or lawn control products from the big box stores and end up paying 1/2 (or less) the price per gallon with product that works twice as good. Thus using less chemicals as well. You buy in more concentrated versions and end up with enough for a season, or three - but well worth it due to the results and effectiveness. (just dont drink the stuff..) You might pay ~8%-12% more than the lowest on-line price, but well worth it because you will use the right product in the right amount under the right conditions and get results. (tipping a waiter/waitress for a one time meal is 15%-20%...) My net price for most products purchased here is ~$2.50 to $4 per gallon (guessing at $8/gln for the highest end(?)). I do not carry a termite bond on my home, nor have fear of termites (because I am more protected than most homes), never have an ant, roach, or whatever problem and a relatively weedless lawn.
Excellent store. Bring in your worst lawn or pest problem and they can solve it. Here s a tip, their custom in-house blended fertilizers are better than the big name brands and cost less. My lawn looks awesome now. Thanks DIY Pest Control.
I bought a philodendron brandi from this place. It was attached to a piece of wood and when I tried to remove the wood I realized it is attached by the roots to the wooden board with a rubber band. Multiple roots got ripped out. I called them to let them know and they said they didn t care. This place sucks every plant I ve gotten has had a problem. Don t shop here unless you want problem plants.
Great selection of plants. Prices vary, slightly expensive. Clearance rack outside is great to pick from. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great place to get your own pest control items. The people here are super friendly and nice. Also they are very helpful too. While your there make sure to check out their plants as well.
Love this place
Extremely helpful! Do yourself a favor and visit.
We love this place, all we do is what they tell us and our yard has been as good or better than when we paid others!
I was talked into purchasing a $100 bag of insect aside for my lawn assuring me it would kill my sod webworms on contact and I completely wasted my money. Waste of money
Very helpful and really pinned down what I needed to get rid of a ghost ant problem I caught early...stuff did the job. My brother put me on to them last year when he had the same problem and spoke highly so I tried them and will recommend.
VERY helpful!!
Beautiful variety of plants
Very knowledgeable and friendly.
My new favorite Peperomia place!
If you are a novice to Florida lawn maintenance this is the place to go. They have a solution for almost everything. The quality of the advice is unparalleled. Once I started going here I dropped the big boxes for all my lawn care needs since the big box store advice just did not come close to providing the quality of advice of Do It Yourself Lawn and Pest Control s. My best example is that I could not get a product from the big box stores to kill crabgrass but not my lawn. The solution I bought from DIY worked very effectively.
Rebecca is very knowledgeable and will cut right to the chase and will tell you exactly what your lawn issues are. If she tell you to use a product, you should purchase it, use as directed, and you will always see positive results.
Super Friendly staff and some gorgeous plants. I may kill them but its worth a try, right? I enjoyed my visit and would definitely go again.
They are very informative and helpful there.
V good.n
They seem very knowledgeable. I will post an update once I see how their advice plays out. Not only do they offer products and services around getting your lawn and garden into a good spot, but they also have some nice plants and terrariums.
Been a customer for at least 20 years. You can go to their website to see all their products and services.
Listen to what they say and do it how they say and they will take care of you, thank you DIYPC.
The ladies who run the shop are the sweetest and they make you feel welcome. Their rare plant section is amazing!!! They also carry a ton of plants for all price ranges. Oh they can help with your pest issues as well. Stop by and check them out!!
Super friendly, they speak Spanish and most importantly knows what they are doing
Great place, they are very helpful. You can get all your questions answered here and get the products to solve your problem.
I bought some flea granular and spray. It so far has been perfect!
Friendly, knowledgeable, sometimes its short staffed so there is a wait
Who knew we had access to so much knowledge and products about our lawns locally? I love this place, everyone who works there is so helpful and patient explaining what works the best. You can ask anything about lawn or pest care and they will give you recommendations. I never feel pressured to buy unnecessary items. As much as I love the big orange hardware store, this place is much more specialized and you will find expert advice. My favorite is Rebecca, she is great at listening and suggesting exactly what is needed. A great resource right here in Oviedo.
Always helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Bring pictures of your issue....always walk out with a solution to fix it.
Friendly, no sales pressure, helpful, educated staff with great suggestions.
Great attention to detail
Their recommended products got rid of my flea problem, very helpful staff
Very knowledgeable and helpful. Small store but they have everything you need.
The lady who works there is very knowledgable about anything to do with pest control and grass stuff...she will be able to tell you what you need according to your situation without having to pay a lest control person to do it for you.
Expensive
Great service, knowledgeable staff. Ive been going there for 20 yrs.
Great place, great people and extremely helpful and knowledgeable
Always very good and helpful I recommend them highly.
Help is not well trained everything I wanted was out of stock.
Great place for pro do it yourself pest and lawn and garden
What don t they have here? My go to spot for seeds, soil, compost, you name it. The staff is the best, super knowledgeable and friendly. Has a tiny ant problem, the identified what ant, suggested a treatment, solved on first application. They also sell the best local honey, I m partial though. Bee Guy approved!
Helpful staff

Experience always excellent. Always the right product for my yard. Rebecca and Joanna are excellent for guidance
Has everything I need for next years immaculate lawn.
Always helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. If you wanna do it yourself, they are a great source for knowledge and product quality & availability.
The young lady was very nice. She even helped us take the items we bought to our car...
Extremely helpful
Staff friendly and knowledgeable. I am a local pest control company and I rely on the supplies for pest and urban wildlife problems. They dont charge extra fees for using debit cards, or credit cards. Beware, because the other locations with the same name d. I. Y. Pest Control stores charge a surcharge up to 6% of the total amount you spend, which is actually not ethical or legal, but the Oviedo store does not do this. In fact, she gives pros with state license a big discount off her already low costs. She also has a great live aquarium plants and other plants and gifts set up to buy.
Good prices. For professional products the pros use I called today for a quote to take care of some roaches and fleas 200 bucks I went here and paid 50 bucks for a bottle that will last 2 years easy and saved 150 and dont have to remove my pets totally from the apartment,
Very helpful to buy the right pesticide.
Knowledge of products, insects, pests, is king here. Safe products for home, ppl, & pets.
This place is great resource for the diy pest lawn folks. They provide comprehensive soil testing, and detailed recommendations on curing lawn ailments. The customer service is excellent.
Knowledgeable staff good customer service
Close and helpful
Amazing very knowledgeable helped with all questions.
Great advice! The owner really cares about her clients and can offered tailored plans to help any yard. Have been regular customers for five years and love them!
I have followed everything they have suggested and my empire zoysia lawn looks better than any resort or golf course.
Great place for advice and to get lawn and household products. Im
Each time Ive been to this Do It Yourself store, Ive been been able to get all my questions answered. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to make sure Ive got what I need to get the job done.
Always knowledgeable!
They are very friendly and well-informed staff. I especially love the extras they have that encourage gardening as with the Earth Boxes--so easy to grow edibles. Earth Box comes with instructions that are the easiest. We dont need a green thumb to grow with those. I have over 20 of them now! They are addictive!
Very friendly And knowledgeable people at this ztore
Had carpenter ant problem. Not anymore. Very helpful st as ff.
Family-owned real friendly, and very informative
Very helpful and informative on how to treat my fire ant problem.

They are very helpful
Fantastic service and expertise
Great products and the people are knowledgeable.
My frist visit to this place was amazing. Miss Rebecca was a pro and very Knowledgeable about the product a company sells. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
Brian was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
We buy our lawn products here. Still havent decided if I will continue after we finish what we have already bought
Very helpful staff .
Easy going place with knowledgeable staff. So much better than box store.
Great place
Love to go in and get what I need and that works or ask questions and get the answer asap. If they dont know they find out and will call you. They speak English very knowledgeable and know there products. If you need Spanish they can do that as well. All I have gotten there has worked for all issues I have had sod exterior trees shrubs ect... To maintaining enterior. NO BUGS A++++
Wide range selection in pest and lawn control
100% recommend. Saved hundreds of dollars going here instead of going with a exterminator for a rat problem. Staff is very friendly and helpful with great suggestions.
Helped me by my lawn back to normal... Extremely friendly and helpful
Great, local business and staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Not sure about prices but they do offer commercial grade products.
Knowledgeable staff, good prices, everything for lawn & pest control
They are always helpful and provide good recommendations
Awesome! Highly recommend for those who want to take responsibility for their lawn care and pest control! Start with soil analysis and you are well on your way to the best lawn in the neighborhood...
Higher prices for quality products. Well worth it .to get rid of nusance pests .I had great success with their bug controls products. Thank you.
Very helpful. Better products than in the box stores.
very knowledgeable and helpful
The most knowledgeable staff. They saved me thousands as I no longer need the big lawn care companies that do nothing! Yes you can find the products cheaper on line but if not for them helping guide your purchase youd have no idea what to buy. Their expert advice is worth the premium.
Great Place to get informed about taking care of your Lawn . REBECCA IS VERY knowledgeable
Great selection and guidance on getting the job done.
Great place to find anything relative to pest control, refurbishing lawns, flowers, plants & vegetable planting. Also, they analyze your soil, identify sick plant or shrub pests (bring in a cutting of the sick plant, etc.) Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. & Lots more!!
Staff appears knowledgeable. Had very negative experience with loaner spreader dumping piles of product. Staff member went through litany of things that can be done when experiencing problems but then said it was assembled improperly. This is not rocket science and we are paying the premium for knowledge. Claims dumps of product does no harm. I wonder whether my lawn is protected, i.e., what was happening between dumps. No longer comfortable with competence and integrity.
They are super helpful
Super helpful and knowledgeable.
Friendly service, very knowledgeable staff. Products arent cheap, but trust me these work the first time and worth it. Fertilizer is the same as Scotts just without the name stamped on it. Staff also helps carry products out to car. If youre going to do it yourself come here and ignore the big box hardware stores.
Helpful staff that identified my ants and recommended an easy solution I could do myself. A+
These guys are ripoff. Everything they sell is at least DOUBLE the price you can buy for same professional chemical on line. Each person will recommend different chemical (Most expensive) they have for same problem , including Rebecca (Owner) sometimes you wonder if they even know themselves, what they are doing.
I just found an identical product on line for a lot less money. I paid $70. for Termidor insecticide. Its $48. on line with free shipping. Same product, same size. They just lost a long time customer.
Great service, ive shopped here for years and they have always helped me out with anything ive needed. Sabian has even special ordered traps for me. They offer soil analysis, ph testing, if you bring in a section of grass or leaves of a plant you are having trouble with they will identify the issue and give you options on what to do. Very helpful, very friendly and have been in business for 20+ years they must be doing something right. Similar businesses have come and gone these guys are holding on strong. The guys complaining below are complaining about price are ubsurd; you cant expect a company to match prices of online competition. There are bills and labor to pay, besides when you have an issue with your lawn or plants the online company cant and wont offer any asistance. There is no guarantee you are getting the actual product, many online pesticides are knockoffs. There is two termidors available there is one made in China that isnt worth the bottle it shipped in. Ive been in pest control for 9 years any quality products are not cheap
I dont mind paying more for a product if I get customer service. Youre not only getting product but they help identify a problem and give instructions. When you shop online can you bring in leaves from your trees or plants for an analysis? I think not! I prefer to shop local whenever possible because if I run into a problem help is right here. In addition, many/most of the products DIY sells arent available at hardware stores because they are professional grade. Supporting local business helps our community.
Buyer beware. High prices, but worse, they will tell you anything to sell you a product. Recently went in with my weeds and was told that the product I bought would take care of all but one of them. Not only did the product not kill the weeds but it killed my grass.
Expensive but the staff is very knowledgeable and the products seem to work
