Lawn care in Murfreesboro, TN

What limestone does to a Murfreesboro lawn

The city lies in Tennessee’s Central Basin, where layers of limestone sit under a thin cover of clay. In places the rock breaks the surface altogether; the cedar glades this area is known for grow on exactly that kind of ground. Where the soil is only a few inches deep, it holds very little water. Those are the patches that go brown first in a dry August while the rest of the yard is still green. Thin turf over rock lets weeds in, too, so pre-emergent in rounds 1 and 2 matters here: it keeps crabgrass out of the bare spots before the grass can recover.

Deep, less frequent watering helps. So does a root system with somewhere to go. Fall core aeration opens the clay layer that is there, and fresh fescue seed fills in what the heat thinned. It’s round 9 of LawnWise Plus and Premier, and our aeration and overseeding page explains the timing.

Stones River National Battlefield and the river corridor keep woods and water close to a lot of neighborhoods, and mosquitoes make the most of both. Monthly treatments from May through September keep the yard usable in the evening. For the house itself, PestWise covers more than 40 common pests, and termite inspections, bait systems and barrier treatments are available as well. Murfreesboro is one county over from our Franklin office, and it’s part of the area we serve. If you live on the north side of town, Smyrna lawn care is the next page up the road.
