A season-by-season guide to feeding, weed control, seeding, aeration, pest watch and winter prep for Middle Tennessee lawns.
Lawn care is mostly timing. In late winter, a pre-emergent barrier stops crabgrass before it sprouts. In spring, a balanced feeding supports green-up for fescue, and warm-season grasses wake up and begin their season. Summer is for protection: deep watering, taller mowing, grub prevention and disease watch. Early fall is the big renewal time for cool-season grass, with aeration, overseeding and feeding. Late fall brings a winterizer feeding and final leaf cleanup.
Warm-season grasses run a different calendar. Bermuda and zoysia are fed from late spring through summer, aerated as they green up and left alone in dormancy. Weather shifts every window, so soil temperature and rainfall are better guides than the date. We build your calendar for the grass you have and adjust each year. Following it takes the guesswork out of lawn care and gives each treatment its best chance to work.

Yes. Feeding and aeration happen in late spring and summer instead.
Soil temperature is the best guide, often in late winter for pre-emergent.
