Growth Regulator

This application reduces the growth rate of your grass which will result in a reduced number of mowings while at the same time thickening the turf canopy and increasing the root mass. This may also improve the color of the lawn and can make the turf more disease resistant. This lawn care treatment can last up to 6 weeks.

Fescue Overseeding

Fescue is often the grass of choice for the shaded lawns in the Mid-South. Fescue overseeding is the process of adding new grass to an area with thinning grass, or an area with patches of dirt that need to be filled in. We apply a high quality seed blend selected for the greater Memphis area. Fescue seeding should be done in early spring and early fall each year as needed to help thicken up your fescue lawn.

Lime

Lime applications neutralize acidic soil and allow better utilization of nutrients and weed control applications. We suggest this lawn care service on an every-other-year schedule or as needed. If you notice that your lawn is lacking vigor or is struggling to green up in the spring, a lime application may be in order. Before an initial lime application, a soil analysis may be necessary. We perform the soil analysis by taking several samples from various areas of the lawn. These samples are analyzed in a professional lab. After we receive the report, we provide you with a copy, along with our lawn care recommendations. We will follow up with a phone call a few days later to answer any questions you may have and to schedule your service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Lawn Care Services  in Memphis, TN

  • What custom lawn care services does Personal Lawn Care offer?

    In addition to our core fertilization, weed control, insect control, and disease programs, we offer add-on services for lawns and landscapes that need extra attention. These include growth regulator applications, fescue overseeding, lime applications with soil analysis, and our Shrub Saver Program for landscape plants.

  • What does a growth regulator do for my lawn?

    A growth regulator slows how quickly your grass grows, so you'll need to mow less often. At the same time, it helps thicken the turf and build a stronger root system. Many lawns also see improved color and better disease resistance. A single application can last up to six weeks.

  • When is the best time to overseed a fescue lawn in Memphis?

    Fescue overseeding works best in early fall and early spring, when temperatures support new seed growth. We recommend overseeding as needed each year to keep fescue lawns thick and fill in thin or bare patches.

  • Why is fescue a good choice for shady yards in the Mid-South?

    Fescue tolerates shade better than many warm-season grasses, which makes it a popular choice for shaded lawns across the Memphis area. We use a high-quality seed blend selected specifically for greater Memphis growing conditions.

  • How do I know if my lawn needs lime?

    If your lawn lacks vigor or struggles to green up in the spring, acidic soil may be the cause. Lime neutralizes soil acidity, which helps your grass absorb nutrients and makes weed control applications more effective. We generally recommend lime every other year or as needed.

  • Do I need a soil analysis before a lime application?

    A soil analysis may be needed before your first lime application. We collect samples from several areas of your lawn and send them to a professional lab. Once we receive the results, we'll send you a copy along with our recommendations, then follow up by phone a few days later to answer questions and schedule service.

  • What is the Shrub Saver Program?

    The Shrub Saver Program is a year-round treatment plan for your shrubs and landscape plants. It includes disease and insect protection plus fertilizer in the spring, summer, and fall, giving your plants the nutrients they need for healthy foliage and strong blooms.
