Though the heat of summer still lingers throughout Music City, the fall months are here. It’s time to prep and get ready for the cold, bitter months of winter. Though you still have some time to prepare, it is best not to take any chances. So as you pack away the lawn mower and gardening gloves, be sure to call the Parke Company for any last minute planting, transplanting or landscaping needs.
The first day of frost in Nashville and Middle Tennessee can be as early as October (that’s this month in case you forgot). For many plants, especially trees, it is best to plant in the fall or even early spring. If you plant trees during the middle of the summer, the extreme heat can cause the young plant to die.
If you have any final landscaping needs for the season (such as debris cleanup, lawn mowing or gardening), it is best to have any necessary tree work done first. The Parke Company has both both tree services and landscape services at your disposal. This convenience can go a long way for customers who are busy this time of year.
Services can include:
- Transplanting trees
- Planting trees
- Tree trimming
- Tree removal
- Stump grinding
- Firewood services
- Landscape services
Though things tend to look dead or dying during the winter, some are only dormant and will bloom again during the spring. Before the weather begins to freeze, it’s important to prep and make sure your plants and trees are healthy so they can last until March. From a simple leaf pick up to a tree removal, the Parke Company has you covered. For more information about the Parke Company’s tree services or landscape services, call them today at (615) 405-6548.
Backflow testing is a key step in making sure drinking water is protected from pesticides, feces, and other contaminants. There are two main ways backflow can contaminate drinking water, but they can both be prevented if your irrigation devices are in working order.
Football season provokes thoughts of sports mania, tailgating and lots of finger food for people around America, especially Nashville — home of the Tennessee Titans. And it’s not just professional football we’re talking about! Nashville is home to Vanderbilt Commodore fans, Tennessee State University Tigers fans, University of Tennessee Volunteer fans and even Hillsboro High School burro fans. No matter whom you cheer for every season, we understand that it can take up a huge portion of your weekend leaving little time for lawn maintenance or tree services. But that’s OK! That is what the Parke Company is here for. They can take care of your lawn maintenance and tree service needs while you and your family are out enjoying football season. Some of their basic treecare services include:
The ladies and gents of Nashville are eagerly ordering their Pumpkin Spice Lattes and wearing boots in anticipation for the fall. But what exactly makes the autumn season so special? Football? Apple-picking? It’s the change in color of the leaves on the trees, of course! But exactly how do they change color and why do they eventually fall from their limbs?
It’s that time of year again for Nashville and the Middle Tennessee area: overseeding and aeration of your lawns. Yearly maintenance is crucial in keeping a fescue lawn looking beautiful during the chilly months, which is why September and even October are key months to get it done. Perhaps the Parke Company had to come in and remove a tree early this summer — now it is time to plant grass over the bald spot. Whatever the reason, the time for this landscape chore is now.
