Our unique climate zone
Tennessee lies in climate zone 7 of the climate zone spectrum. Our zone is known for its mild winters and hot summers. Temperatures in our area rarely dip below zero, though late August highs can range around 100 degrees. In our transitional zone, cool season grasses tend to die off in the summer and warm season grasses will lie dormant in the winter. Knowing how best to cope with these changes will allow you to keep your lawn looking lush and green throughout most of the year. We offer a wide range of lawn fertilizers, weed killers, and nutrients that will keep the bad growth out and your best blades of grass strong and healthy. We also offer a large selection of choice power equipment to keep your lawns trimmed and tidy. Call or visit our stores in Knoxville or Powell today.
Important lawn maintenance to consider
As the spring season comes, you’ll want to grow or transplant new grass into your lawn. It’s important to prepare your soil well ahead of time to ensure your sod investment isn’t wasted. First, we recommend having your soil tested to understand your soil’s pH levels and nutrient needs. This can be done by sending a sample of soil to your local county extension office or university soil lab. The results will inform you on how best to pretreat your soil. In many cases, nutrients such as lime or fertilizer will need to be added. Aerating or breaking up your soil with a rototiller (up to 4 inches in depth) is also recommended before you try growing new sod. Rake and prep the soil so it’s graded and even before laying your new sod in staggered rows. Water the new laid sod twice daily until the roots become attached and established in the soil. This amount of watering can be gradually tapered off over time. Expect to mow your new lawn to 1½ inches in the fall to keep it well maintained.
