What each season calls for
Spring
Athens sits in Georgia's Piedmont transition zone, so spring means different things on different lawns: warm-season grasses like Bermuda and centipede are waking up and want attention, while fescue lawns are finishing their cool-season growth before the heat arrives.
It's also when irrigation systems that sat idle over winter need a start-up check.
Summer
Warm-season lawns are in full growth through the Georgia summer, while fescue lawns are working hardest just to hold on through the heat.
Irrigation systems are doing the most work of the year, and it's the season a bad zone gets noticed fastest.
Fall
Cooler weather is the better planting window for fescue, while warm-season lawns are slowing down for the year.
Before the first hard frost, irrigation systems need to be shut down properly for winter.
Year-Round
Grading & Drainage
Water doesn't wait for a season. Grading and drainage work happens whenever a yard needs somewhere for the water to go, no calendar required.

FAQ
Why do some Athens-area yards have Bermuda or centipede grass while others have fescue?
Athens sits in Georgia's Piedmont transition zone, where both warm-season grasses (Bermuda, centipede, zoysia) and cool-season tall fescue grow well, and a lot comes down to sun, shade, and what was already established on the property.
When should a sprinkler system be started up in spring and shut down in fall?
Most systems in this area get a start-up check once the risk of a hard freeze has passed in spring, and a proper shutdown before the first hard frost in fall, so pipes and heads aren't left holding water through a freeze.
Why does water pool in parts of a yard after heavy rain?
Piedmont clay soil drains slowly on its own, and low spots, compacted ground, or grading that pitches the wrong way all make it worse. It's usually a grading or drainage question, not a watering one.
Do you handle irrigation repairs, or only new installs?
Both. Irrigation installation and maintenance are part of what we do.
What's the best time of year for landscaping work in this part of Georgia?
It depends on the job. Cooler months suit planting and fescue-lawn work, while warmer months suit Bermuda and centipede lawns and most everyday upkeep, so timing is usually worth talking through for your specific yard.
