Our 8‑Application Program, Timed for Collierville
Timing is most of the job, and West Tennessee runs two to four weeks ahead of the rest of the state. These windows come from University of Tennessee Extension research for our end of the state, not a national calendar.
Visit 1 · Jan, Feb
We clear out winter weeds, chickweed, henbit, and sticker weed, while they are still small, and lay down a barrier that stops spring weeds before they come up.
Visit 2 · Feb, Mar
Crabgrass prevention. UT Extension puts the West Tennessee window at late February to early March, two to four weeks ahead of Knoxville. On a young subdivision lawn with thin spots, crabgrass takes those spots first.
Visit 3 · Apr, May
First feeding of the year. On a Collierville lot the grass is usually sitting on graded subsoil rather than real topsoil, so this visit is as much about building the ground back up as it is about color.
Visit 4 · May, Jun
Round two of weed prevention, about six weeks behind the first, so the barrier holds through summer. Plus feeding and nutsedge control.
Visit 5 · Jul, Aug
Summer feeding built for our heat, using a slow‑release product so it feeds steadily instead of burning. We also spot‑treat the tough weeds that show up this time of year.
Visit 6 · Sep, Oct
Winter weed prevention. UT’s target is late August, before soil temperatures drop through 70 degrees, that is when annual bluegrass starts germinating. Miss it and you have it all winter.
Visit 7 · Oct, Nov
Fall follow‑up, plus disease prevention. Fall is when large patch infects zoysia. It shows up as big circular patches with orange edges the following spring, and by then it is too late to prevent.
Visit 8 · Nov, Dec
Lime, but only where it is needed. Collierville’s upland ground is sour and wants it; the bottomland along the Wolf River and the creeks is close to neutral and does not. We test rather than blanket.
Plans from $30.90 / Month
Or $46.35 per treatment. Every Collierville lawn is measured and priced to size, which matters in a town with everything from 9,000 square foot lots to five‑acre minimums. Free service calls between visits.
Why Collierville Lawns Behave the Way They Do
Collierville is a new town on old farmland. Nearly three quarters of the housing here went up in 1990 or later, and almost one acre in five inside the town limits is still farm ground waiting its turn. That history is under your grass.
Your Lawn Sits on Graded Ground
About 74% of Collierville homes were built in 1990 or later, versus roughly a third in Germantown. When a builder grades a lot, the good topsoil goes with it and the sod ends up on packed subsoil. That is why a Collierville lawn can look perfect the first season and struggle the second. It is not the sod.
Still Being Built On
Nearly one in five acres inside Collierville town limits is still classified as agriculture, and another one in ten is vacant. New subdivisions here keep going in on former row‑crop ground, which comes with its own compacted plow layer on top of everything else.
A Hard Layer Underneath
About half of Collierville sits on ground with a dense layer roots cannot push through, usually a couple of feet down. On the eroded slopes where the topsoil was farmed off years ago, it can be less than a foot down. That is a shallow root zone, soggy in March, concrete in August.
Roughly a Third of Town Is Bottomland
Collierville runs from the Wolf River down to the headwaters of Nonconnah Creek, and about a third of the town is creek‑bottom ground. Some of it floods for days at a time. If your back corner grows sedge and moss instead of grass, that is why, and no fertilizer changes it.
The Only One Still Growing
Of Collierville, Germantown, Bartlett and Memphis, Collierville is the only one that gained population between 2020 and 2024. More new lawns go in here every year than anywhere else nearby, and new lawns are the ones that fail without a program.
Armyworms
In 2021 West Tennessee was the worst‑hit part of the state, and UT reported that the usual insecticides were performing poorly. Newly sodded and seeded lawns took the worst of it, which in Collierville is a lot of lawns. We scout in late summer and treat with a spray.
What Grows Well in Collierville
Tennessee sits in what UT Extension calls the transition zone, one of the hardest regions in the country to grow grass. On a wide‑open new subdivision lot, the warm‑season grasses have the clear advantage.
Bermudagrass
The right call for most Collierville lots, the subdivisions here are open and sunny, and UT rates bermuda excellent for heat and drought. It fills back in fast, which matters on a young lawn. It is hungry, though, and it will not grow in shade.
Zoysia
Finer and denser than bermuda, handles moderate shade, and needs less nitrogen. The trade‑off is recovery: zoysia is slow to come back from damage or disease, so with zoysia the program is prevention, not repair.
Wet Corners Need a Different Plan
On the creek‑bottom third of town, the limiting factor is water, not grass. UT is direct about it: where sedges and kyllinga show up in poorly drained ground, lasting control is only possible once the drainage is dealt with. We will tell you that rather than sell you repeat treatments.
Our Calendar Is Not Nashville’s
UT Extension separates West Tennessee from East Tennessee by two to four weeks on weed prevention alone. General advice, and most statewide advice, is late for Collierville.
Test, Do Not Guess
UT does not publish a blanket fertilizer rate for Tennessee lawns; it routes you to a soil test instead. That is the honest answer, and it matters more here than most places, because Collierville’s upland and bottomland soils want opposite things.
It was all weeds when I moved in, and after being treated, I have no weeds in my yard at all.

Collierville Lawn Care, Common Questions
Straight answers on pricing, timing, new construction, and licensing.
How much does lawn treatment cost in Collierville?
Our program starts at $30.90 a month, or $46.35 per treatment if you would rather pay per visit. Price depends on lawn size, and Collierville lots vary enormously, so we measure yours and give you an exact number free, usually in a few minutes.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes. Our plans run on an annual service agreement. Full terms, including renewal and cancellation, are on our Terms of Service page.
My sod looked great last year and terrible this year. What happened?
This is the most common call we get from Collierville. When the lot was graded, the topsoil went with it, and the sod was laid on packed subsoil. The first season it lives off what came with the sod. The second season it has to root into ground that will not let it. Aeration and steady feeding turn it around; more water does not.
I am on an acre or more. Do you handle that?
Yes. Collierville has residential zoning from 9,000 square foot lots all the way up to a five‑acre minimum. We price by measured size, not a flat residential rate.
My back corner stays wet and grows sedge. Can you kill it?
We can knock it back, and we will be straight with you: about a third of Collierville is creek‑bottom ground, and UT Extension says lasting control of sedges in poorly drained soil is only possible once the drainage is addressed. Treatments manage it; drainage solves it.
When does weed prevention need to go down?
UT Extension puts the West Tennessee crabgrass window at late February to early March, before the last forsythia bloom falls, and the winter weed application in late August, before soil temperatures drop through 70 degrees.
Are you licensed in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee requires a Department of Agriculture charter for the business plus licensed and certified applicators for ornamental and turf work. We are licensed in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
What areas around Collierville do you serve?
Collierville, Germantown, Bartlett, Cordova, and east Memphis, plus our home base across the line in DeSoto County, Olive Branch, Southaven, Hernando, and Horn Lake.
What I also appreciated was how efficient and respectful the team was while on-site. No mess left behind, everything was cleaned up, and they made sure the yard looked better than they found it.
Overall, excellent service from start to finish. Reliable, professional, and they deliver exactly what you’d expect—and more. Can’t wait until my next service provided by Lawn Jox and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality lawn care.
