Clarksville's Premier Lawn Care Specialists Offer Professional Guidance for Perfect Outdoor Celebrations

Classic Southern Lawns

As Memorial Day approaches, Classic Southern Lawns, Clarksville's trusted lawn care company, is helping local homeowners prepare their outdoor spaces for holiday gatherings. With over 80 years of combined experience in lawn maintenance and landscaping, their team of experts has released a comprehensive guide for achieving the perfect yard in time for the unofficial start of summer.

"Memorial Day weekend is when many folks in Clarksville host their first major outdoor gathering of the season," said Robert Wright, owner of Classic Southern Lawns. "We've seen a significant increase in service requests leading up to the holiday, so we decided to share some professional insights to help our community put their best foot forward, whether they're our clients or not."

Established in 2021, Classic Southern Lawns has quickly built a reputation for excellence in the Clarksville area, maintaining a 4.9-star rating across platforms and servicing over 150 residential and commercial properties annually. Their team of 8 dedicated professionals specializes in lawn mowing, mulch bed maintenance, and landscape enhancement services.

Expert Tips for Memorial Day Yard Preparation

The Classic Southern Lawns team recommends starting preparations at least 2-3 weeks before Memorial Day to ensure optimal results. Their professional guidance includes:

  1. Schedule a Comprehensive Clean-Up: "A thorough spring clean-up removes winter debris and provides a clean slate for the season," explains Donovan Mitchell, General Manager at Classic Southern Lawns. "This includes removing leaves, branches, and other debris that may have accumulated during winter and early spring." For best results, Mitchell recommends raking deeply into the base of shrubs and perennials where debris often hides.

  2. Strategic Lawn Mowing: The company recommends mowing 2-3 days before the event rather than the day of. "Cutting too close to your gathering can leave grass clippings and create a messy appearance," Mitchell notes. "Our team uses advanced striping technology to create those professional-looking patterns that really impress guests." For the perfect cut, they advise following the "one-third rule" – never removing more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing session.

  3. Fresh Mulch Application: "New mulch not only enhances your landscape's appearance but also helps control weeds and retains soil moisture during hot weather," says Wright. "A fresh layer of mulch in your garden beds can instantly transform your yard's appearance." The company recommends maintaining a 2-3 inch depth of mulch and keeping it pulled back slightly from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot and pest issues.

  4. Edge and Trim for Definition: Classic Southern Lawns emphasizes the importance of crisp edges along walkways, driveways, and garden beds. "Well-defined borders give your property that manicured, professional look that stands out," Wright explains. Their professionals use both mechanical and manual edging techniques to create clean, sharp lines that frame lawn areas beautifully.

  5. Consider Strategic Lighting: For gatherings that extend into the evening, temporary landscape lighting can enhance safety and ambiance. "Simple solar stake lights along pathways or string lights in seating areas can make a huge difference," suggests Mitchell. "For Memorial Day specifically, consider red, white, and blue lighting options to honor the holiday's significance."

  6. Prepare Entertainment Areas: "Beyond just the lawn appearance, focus on your entertainment zones," advises Wright. "Power wash patios and decks at least a week before your event to allow ample drying time. This is also the perfect opportunity to inspect for any loose boards or potential tripping hazards that should be addressed before guests arrive."

  7. Control Pests Naturally: Classic Southern Lawns recommends several natural deterrents for keeping insects at bay during outdoor gatherings. "Strategically place citronella candles or torches around seating areas, and consider planting insect-repellent herbs like lavender, rosemary, and mint in pots that can be moved where needed," says Mitchell. "These not only serve a functional purpose but add to your landscape's appeal."
