About Nashville's Weed and Feed

Nashville's Weed and Feed is a lawn treatment company serving Nashville and 95 more towns across 12 counties of Middle Tennessee. The lawn treatment work is performed by our trusted partner — one local company we chose and stand behind — and we stake our name on how the work goes.

Weed and feed is sold as a bag and a schedule, and the schedule is written for somewhere else. Our technicians are licensed to apply what they apply, time the pre-emergent to the soil temperature here, and treat fescue and Bermuda as the different lawns they are.

How this works

Send the form and it comes to Nashville's Weed and Feed. We read it and it goes to our trusted partner: the local lawn treatment company that does the work. All work is performed by our trusted partner. They call you, look at the lawn treatment job in person, and put the estimate in writing before anything starts.

One company, not five. Nashville's Weed and Feed does not sell what you send us and does not pass it round a list of lawn treatment companies to ring you all week; it reaches the one company doing your job, and that is as far as it goes.

The company doing the lawn treatment work trades under a name of its own, so the business that introduces itself at your door may not be the name you read here. Nashville's Weed and Feed stays in it either way: we hold the license and the insurance on file, we hear how each job went, and we are who you come back to if the work is not right.

What we do

Time the pre-emergent. Applied when the soil hits the temperature crabgrass germinates at, which is a date the technician watches, not a month on a bag.
Treat for the grass you have. Fescue and Bermuda take different products at different times, and the program is written for yours.
Test the soil. A soil test sets the lime and the fertilizer; guessing wastes both.

What we will not do

Spray without the license. Tennessee requires it for commercial application, and every technician of ours holds it.
Feed in the heat. Nitrogen on fescue in July burns it; the calendar follows the grass, not the invoice.
Promise no weeds. A treated lawn has fewer weeds, and the honest program says which ones will still need spot treatment.

What we actually work on

Lawn fertilization, weed control, and the care program that ties them together.

The lawn treatment problems Middle Tennessee homeowners bring us most often:

Crabgrass back every summer
Lawn thin and patchy
Weeds returning weeks after spraying
Brown patches spreading in humidity
Grass that never fills back in
Soil hard and compacted

Who does the work, and what we require of them

A company does not take lawn treatment work from Nashville's Weed and Feed on a handshake. This is what it has to meet before the first job, and keep meeting for every one after:

A current Tennessee license wherever the lawn treatment work requires one, plus whatever certification the particular job calls for
Liability insurance in force and on file with us before a lawn treatment company is sent anywhere, and workers’ compensation where there are employees
A real address in Middle Tennessee and jobs here we can point to — not a dispatcher in another state with a local number
The price in writing before the work starts, and no change to it without a conversation first
The phone answered when a job goes wrong, and the work put right instead of argued about

The lawn treatment company we send works under a Tennessee Department of Agriculture charter, its technicians hold the applicator license, and its liability insurance is on file with us.

Beyond the paperwork, the test is how somebody handles the part of a lawn treatment job that does not go to plan — the honest call when the estimate has to change, and whether you hear about it before the work or after. The lawn treatment companies who keep our work are the ones who have passed that test on jobs we know about.

If any of that stops being true, the lawn treatment work stops going there.

Why we do not publish reviews yet

No reviews on this site yet: a company this new has none to show, and a treated lawn is judged in June.

Where we work

Treatment routes through Nashville continue to Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville; the service covers 96 towns in 12 counties. Each of the main cities has its own page — what its houses mean for lawn treatment, who issues the permits, which neighborhoods are inside the run.

If you want to understand the work before you speak to anyone, our lawn treatment guide covers what drives the price, what your options are and what a badly done job looks like — written so you can judge any lawn treatment company in the region, including us.

Who we are

Behind Nashville's Weed and Feed is Michael Blair, who owns and runs it and answers for the words on its pages. Those pages draw on manufacturer labels and documentation, Tennessee code and lawn applicators’ practice, and are revised when any of that changes; each post is dated and bylined to him. Our technicians hold their licenses, carry insurance and follow each commitment listed above; Nashville's Weed and Feed vouches for every application.

Lawn treatment in Tennessee runs under a Department of Agriculture charter and applicator license rather than a contractor’s license; where a license applies, verify.tn.gov lets you check it. The certificate of insurance is yours to request before the first application, and the permit office for each town is named on its city page.
