Fall and spring seeding that thickens thin lawns and starts new ones, with slit seeding, starter feeding and a watering plan.
Tall fescue lawns thin out over time. Summer heat, drought, foot traffic and disease leave bare spots and weak areas, and fescue does not spread on its own the way bermuda does. The cure is overseeding, which adds new grass plants to the lawn so it becomes thick again. Done in early fall, when Nashville soil is still warm and the air is cooling, overseeding gives seed the best conditions to sprout and establish before winter.
We prepare the lawn by mowing low, removing debris and, when needed, aerating or dethatching so seed meets soil. We use a slit seeder to place seed in the ground, spread a high-quality blend suited to your sun and shade, add starter fertilizer and, for bare areas, topdress with compost or soil. Then we give you a watering plan, because keeping seed damp is the most important step. For new lawns, we do the same careful preparation, with seed or sod depending on your timeline.
Warm soil and cooling air help seed sprout and establish before winter.
Seed placed in the soil sprouts more reliably than seed thrown on top.
Seed blends are chosen for sun, shade and traffic.
Light, frequent watering keeps seed damp until it sprouts.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, new landscaping, a lawn fix or a patio, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the areas and check sun, shade, soil, drainage and access, noting existing plants and anything worth keeping.
We explain your options for plants, materials and layout, sketch the design and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house and lawn, remove what must go and rebuild the soil and base.
We install plants, sod, stone and lighting with the crew on site from the first delivery to the last load of mulch, keeping the site tidy as we go.
We walk you through watering and care, leave a simple guide, clean up and set a reminder for your first-season check.
Early September to mid October is ideal in Middle Tennessee.
Fescue often sprouts in one to three weeks with good moisture.
Bermuda is usually left alone, but we can overseed in winter if you want green color.
Aeration helps, especially on compacted clay, but it is not always required.
Keep traffic light until the new grass has been mowed a few times.
