Michael Lowery | Licensed Landscaping in Johnson City, TN

Patchy lawns here are often due to compacted soil, pH imbalance, or thin turf struggling with our climate. I start with a soil test to identify the specific issue, then recommend core aeration, proper seeding with hardy local grass blends, and a tailored fertilization plan to build a thick, healthy lawn that can withstand our seasons.

Dying shrubs in our area are frequently a result of improper planting depth, poor drainage, or disease. I'll assess the plant's health and site conditions. Often, corrective pruning, improving soil aeration around the roots, or adjusting watering practices can revive them. If replacement is needed, I'll select hardy, native species suited for Johnson City's environment.

For low upkeep, I recommend a design using native perennials, mulch beds to suppress weeds, and drip irrigation for efficient watering. Focusing on robust, drought-tolerant plants and proper initial soil preparation creates a beautiful landscape that requires less watering, fewer chemicals, and minimal fuss, giving you more time to enjoy your yard.
