Trees do more than add beauty—they support the living ecosystem around your home. In the Chattanooga area, native trees provide critical habitat and food for birds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Flowers, seeds, and shelter from trees help wildlife thrive while supporting pollination that benefits nearby gardens and landscapes.

Beyond ecology, trees offer natural cooling, help manage stormwater and erosion on our hilly terrain, improve air quality, and increase property value. With thoughtful planning, the right trees create healthier, more vibrant outdoor spaces for both people and wildlife.

Lush lawns are something to pride for many homeowners. Often when we think of lawns, spring and summer months come to mind in vivid greens and with sprinklers at the ready. However, those of us who live in the Southeast know that summer months can be especially brutal to our landscaping, particularly our grass. Typically, your traditional turf grass, though pretty and usually easy to maintain, requires extra support due to depleted soil nutrients from heavy rains and soaring temperatures. For grass to look and function best, this support looks like proper fertilizer. The kinds of fertilizers vary depending on your turf type; however, when and how to fertilize couldn’t be simpler.

In the Chattanooga area, it is common to have uneven land. Being situated in or near the mountains is a perk, but sometimes the sloped terrain can present issues. However, the concerns are not insurmountable when you consider solutions through appropriate garden and landscape design. Your sloped yard can become a place to enjoy outdoor living, to feature natural beauty, or to create stunning visual appeal.
