Middle TN Home Landscape Priorities

First, at the beginning of the 2022 winter, Middle Tennessee experienced an extended period of subfreezing temps. If you are worried about your evergreens, shrubs and trees surviving, here’re some pro tips from Southern Living to help you evaluate. In many cases, time will only tell. Definitely head to the garden center early for the best selection on replacement plants. Here’re some of the LCT Team – Parks favs.

This four acre estate, available in Brentwood, TN, is meticulous outside and in as well as the front yard and the backyard oasis! Contact Realtor Lisa Culp Taylor at 615-775-3830.

If you do have a pool, hot tub or koi pond, be sure you are maintaining and share any updates when selling. Click for details on this listing.

A key part of curb appeal is healthy shrubs, grass, trees and any hardscape.

Make sure your shrubs and trees are properly trimmed and not overgrown. Depending on the species, trees and shrubs have a life-span and you can tell when they are at the end of the cycle and it is time to replacement them. Here’s a guide of the lifespan for 20 common shrubs to help.

In addition to ridding the yard of weeds in your landscape, be sure your grass is prepped for spring and not plagued by abundance of weeds. We have been seeing a growing number of artificial grass on home sports courts, yards and putting greens which is very fun. Here’s a great guide from Architectural Digest to determine if this feature is for you!

Water features can be a negative if not maintained. If you have a koi pond, pool or hot tub, include information on your maintenance and share any recent upgrades.

With a meticulous pool area, this stunning, natural light filled estate is livable, luxurious and is tucked away on a street that might just be the best kept secret in Brentwood! Contact Realtor Meredith Zeller today at 615-545-9706.

It is also important to take a hard look at decks, patios and pool decks for any needed repairs. You’ll be surprised what cold temps and rain can do in a short-period of time.

Ultimately, curb appeal is more than fresh paint for your door and flowers for your porch. As proponents of regular home maintenance, updating your outdoor living area is also important and why not enjoy it while you live in the home!
