Spring in East Tennessee brings warmer temperatures, longer days, and the perfect opportunity to give your lawn a fresh start. After a long winter, your grass, plants, and soil need some extra care to look their best and thrive through the growing season. With over 14 years of experience, Terranova Lawn is here to help you prepare your lawn and landscape for spring, ensuring a healthy, vibrant outdoor space all season long.

Here are essential steps to get your lawn spring-ready and how our team at Terranova Lawn can make the process easier.

1. Clean Up Winter Debris

During winter, lawns accumulate fallen branches, leaves, and other debris. Removing this debris is crucial for allowing sunlight and nutrients to reach your grass and plants. A thorough cleanup will also prevent mold and disease from taking hold in damp, shaded areas.

How Terranova Can Help: Our spring cleanup service includes leaf and debris removal, so your lawn is clean and ready to grow. We’ll clear away all winter remnants, giving your grass the room it needs to thrive.

2. Aerate the Soil

Compacted soil can prevent air, water, and nutrients from penetrating deep into the roots. Aerating the soil helps break up compacted areas, allowing for better root growth and healthier grass. Spring is an ideal time to aerate your lawn, especially if the soil is compacted from winter foot traffic or snowfall.

How Terranova Can Help: Our lawn aeration service is designed to loosen compacted soil and promote stronger root systems. Using professional aeration equipment, we’ll create small holes throughout your lawn, allowing essential nutrients to reach the roots and encouraging thick, lush growth.

3. Test and Fertilize the Soil

Healthy soil is the foundation of a beautiful lawn. Testing the soil’s pH levels and nutrient content in the spring helps determine what your lawn needs to thrive. Based on the results, fertilizing can restore essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, that may have been depleted over winter.

How Terranova Can Help: Our team at Terranova offers expert soil testing and customized fertilization plans. We’ll analyze your soil’s specific needs and apply a balanced fertilizer to promote strong growth and vibrant color. Our fertilization program is tailored to East Tennessee’s unique climate, giving your lawn the nutrients it needs to flourish.

4. Control Weeds Early

Weeds compete with your grass for sunlight, water, and nutrients. Spring is the best time to prevent weeds from taking over your lawn. Pre-emergent herbicides can stop many common weeds, like crabgrass, before they sprout, while targeted treatments can eliminate any weeds that are already growing.

How Terranova Can Help: Terranova offers comprehensive weed control services to keep your lawn weed-free throughout the growing season. Our team uses both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to target weeds before they can cause problems. With our proactive approach, you can enjoy a lush, green lawn without the hassle of battling weeds.

5. Overseed Bare or Thin Areas

If you notice bare or thin patches in your lawn, overseeding in spring can fill in these areas and create a thicker, more uniform lawn. Overseeding helps prevent weed growth and improves your lawn’s resilience against pests and disease. For the best results, overseeding should be done after aerating and fertilizing.

How Terranova Can Help: Our overseeding service is designed to fill in bare spots and promote a dense, healthy lawn. We use high-quality seed blends suited for East Tennessee’s climate and conditions, ensuring optimal germination and growth. Overseeding will help your lawn establish thick, lush grass that’s both beautiful and resilient.

6. Set Up or Inspect Irrigation Systems

Adequate water is essential for your lawn’s health, especially as temperatures begin to rise in spring. If you have an irrigation system, now is the time to inspect it for any winter damage and ensure that it’s working properly. Regular watering will support root growth and keep your lawn green throughout the season.

How Terranova Can Help: Terranova offers irrigation installation and maintenance services to help you achieve a consistent watering schedule. We can install a new irrigation system tailored to your lawn’s needs or inspect and repair your existing system. Our goal is to make sure your lawn receives the right amount of water without any waste.

7. Plan for Landscape Enhancements

Spring is a great time to think about adding new plants, flowers, or hardscaping elements to your landscape. Adding seasonal color or creating new garden beds can transform your outdoor space and increase your property’s curb appeal. Hardscaping, such as patios and walkways, can create functional spaces for outdoor enjoyment.

How Terranova Can Help: Our landscaping and hardscaping services can bring your vision to life. Whether you want to add flower beds, install a new patio, or create a custom design, our team is here to help. We’ll work with you to choose plants and materials that enhance your property and suit your style.
