Wilson County, TN
A lawn care company for Mt. Juliet
Mt. Juliet sits between two lakes, Old Hickory to the north and Percy Priest to the south, and that tells you most of what you need to know about its summers. The lawns get humidity. The yards get mosquitoes.
Lake humidity and Brown Patch
Humid nights are what Brown Patch needs, and this part of Wilson County gets plenty of them. Once it starts, a tall fescue lawn can turn tan in patches within days. Fungicide works best before the disease shows, which is why LawnWise Premier puts a preventive application down as round 10, aimed at the May-to-July window. The damage carries into fall, too, because a lawn that lost patches in June needs seed in September.
Bermuda and zoysia lawns face less of that, and they do well on the sunny, open lots in the newer parts of town around Providence. Whatever the grass, the eight core rounds on our lawn care page handle the feeding and the weed control.
Mosquitoes between Old Hickory and Percy Priest
Coves, creeks and low ground on both sides of town mean mosquitoes from late spring into fall. Our specialists use a backpack mister to coat the shrubs and shady plants around your house with a barrier that kills mosquitoes when they land and sticks to the leaves. Each treatment lasts about 30 days, so visits come monthly, May through September, timed so one connects to the next.
Give the spray 20 to 30 minutes to dry. If a storm washes through before then, call us and we’ll make it right. Between visits, tip out the water that collects in planters, toys and clogged gutters; it takes very little to raise a brood. The full season is on our mosquito control page.
Clay, seed and the rest of Wilson County
Wilson County clay is every bit as tight as Williamson’s. Core aeration and seeding each fall, round 9 of LawnWise Plus, open it up and thicken fescue that thinned over the summer, from the older streets along Lebanon Road to the yards near Charlie Daniels Park. Toward the east end of the county the limestone comes closer to the surface; our Lebanon lawn care page talks about what that means for a lawn.
For the house, PestWise covers more than 40 pests with a quarterly exterior service, and the Premium Plus or Complete package brings termite monitoring or protection along with it.
Answers
Lawn care questions in Mt. Juliet
Why does my Mt. Juliet lawn get brown rings in June?
Brown rings or tan patches in tall fescue in June are most often Brown Patch, a fungal disease that spreads in hot, humid weather from May through July. It usually doesn’t kill the roots, but it thins the lawn badly. LawnWise Premier applies a preventive fungicide before it starts, as round 10 of the program.
Is mosquito control worth it near Percy Priest Lake?
If your yard has shade, shrubs and water nearby, a monthly barrier treatment makes a noticeable difference in how much time you can spend outside. LawnWise treats the plants and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest, and each treatment lasts about 30 days, from May or sooner through September.
Does LawnWise come out as far as Mt. Juliet?
Yes. Mt. Juliet and the rest of Wilson County, Lebanon included, are part of the LawnWise service area. Specialists come to your property from the office in Franklin for the free evaluation and for each round of the program you choose. Call (615) 338-9473 to set up the first visit.
How long should a mosquito spray dry before it rains?
Give a LawnWise mosquito treatment 20 to 30 minutes to dry. After that, rain or sprinkler water shouldn’t wash it off the leaves, and the barrier keeps working for about 30 days. If a storm hits before it has dried and you’re concerned, call LawnWise and they’ll make it right.
