Lawn mowing in Murfreesboro

What a visit looks like

Mow, edge the walks and drive, trim around the beds and fences, blow everything off. Clippings stay on the lawn. UT Extension says they break down in days, feed nitrogen back to the roots, and don't cause thatch. Bagging throws that away.

How I mow

Never more than a third of the blade in one cut. That's the UT Extension rule, and scalping is how lawns get thin and weedy. In July and August I raise the deck on fescue. Taller grass shades the soil, holds moisture, and crowds out crabgrass.

Blades stay sharp. A dull blade tears grass instead of cutting it, and you can see the difference in a week.

Weekly or biweekly

Middle Tennessee grass grows hard from April through October. Most yards on my route are weekly in season, biweekly on the shoulders. We'll figure out what your yard actually needs, not what a contract template says.

I keep a tight route in southwest Murfreesboro: Davenport Station, the Blackman area, Three Rivers, Indian Hills, Westlawn, and Savannah Ridge. Close-together lawns are how a one-man operation stays dependable.
