We hope everyone stayed safe during the recent ice storm. With some ice still lingering on the ground across Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Hermitage, Antioch, Old Hickory, and surrounding areas, it’s a good time to talk about how winter weather like this can affect your lawn as we head toward spring.

❄️ How Ice Storms Affect Your Lawn
Ice buildup can create stress on both turf and landscape areas. Common impacts we see after storms like this include:

• Compacted soil from prolonged freezing and thawing

• Flattened or matted grass, especially in shaded areas

• Delayed green-up once spring temperatures arrive

• Increased risk of fungal issues if moisture lingers too long

The good news? Most lawns recover well with the right early-season care.

🌿 What February Is Still Great For
Even with icy conditions, February remains an important planning and prep month:

• Assessing storm-related damage once ice clears

• Removing fallen limbs, debris, and winter buildup

• Planning early weed control and fertilization timing

• Scheduling spring services before the rush begins

We recommend avoiding heavy foot traffic on icy or saturated turf to prevent compaction and root damage.

🌱 Looking Ahead to Spring Recovery
This ice storm may slightly slow early growth, but it also makes proper spring treatments even more important. Aeration, fertilization, and weed prevention will help your lawn rebound stronger and thicker as temperatures stabilize.

Our team will adjust service timing as needed based on weather and ground conditions—because Middle Tennessee weather always keeps us on our toes.
