Annual Lawn Care Checklist for Murfreesboro Homeowners
Late Winter (Feb–Mar): Prep and Prevention
Start planning early-season lawn care, clean up debris, and get ahead of weed pressure before spring growth takes off.
Spring (Mar–May): Growth and Clean Lines
As the lawn wakes up, focus on consistent mowing, crisp edging, and early-season weed control. This is also a great time for bed maintenance and mulch refreshes for curb appeal.
Early Summer (May–Jun): Root Strength and Consistency
Warm-season lawns ramp up in this window. Keep mowing consistent, avoid scalping, and stay on top of weeds. If compaction is an issue, aeration during active growth can help warm-season turf recover well.
Peak Summer (Jul–Aug): Stress Management
Summer heat can stress lawns. Focus on proper mowing height, consistent maintenance, and avoiding harsh changes that weaken turf. Keep landscapes tidy with light trimming and bed cleanups.
Fall (Sep–Nov): Recovery and Reset
Fall is the most common season for aeration and overseeding on many Murfreesboro properties—especially cool-season lawns that need thicker turf. It’s also prime time for seasonal cleanups and preparing the property for winter.
Winter (Dec–Jan): Off-Season Planning
Use winter to plan next season, line up recurring service, and schedule early treatments so you’re not scrambling when spring hits.
