A lawn that looks thin, patchy, or overrun with weeds isn’t just an eyesore. It’s a sign that the soil isn’t getting what it needs. Big Horse Lawn Care provides professional fertilization and weed control services for homeowners throughout Clarksville, TN, Oak Grove, KY, and the surrounding communities. We treat your lawn based on what it actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Why Fertilization Matters for Clarksville Lawns
Grass pulls nutrients from the soil every time it grows, and over time that soil gets depleted. Mowing keeps your lawn looking neat, but it doesn’t replace what’s been taken out. Without the right nutrients, grass grows in thin and weak, struggles to crowd out weeds, and has a harder time bouncing back from heat and drought stress.
Lawns in the Clarksville and Oak Grove area deal with a full range of seasonal challenges. Summer heat and humidity put real stress on turf, and fall and winter can leave soil compacted and stripped of nutrients heading into spring. A proper fertilization plan keeps your grass strong through all of it.
Weed Control That Actually Works
Weeds compete directly with your grass for water, sunlight, and nutrients. The more weeds take hold, the harder it becomes for your lawn to fill back in on its own. Pulling weeds by hand might handle a few isolated spots, but it doesn’t address the root system or prevent new ones from coming up.
Effective weed control works on two levels. Pre-emergent treatments stop weed seeds from germinating in the first place. Post-emergent treatments target weeds that are already growing. Using both at the right times during the season gives your lawn the best chance of staying clean and full.
Common weeds we treat in the Clarksville area include crabgrass, dandelions, clover, chickweed, and broadleaf varieties that show up in both warm and cool seasons.
What Our Fertilization & Weed Control Services Include
We handle the assessment, the products, and the application so you don’t have to figure any of it out on your own.
- Lawn assessment to evaluate grass type, current condition, and what the soil needs
- Seasonal fertilization treatments timed to support growth at the right stages of the year
- Pre-emergent weed control applied before problem weeds have a chance to sprout
- Post-emergent weed control to eliminate weeds that are already present
- Year-round treatment scheduling to keep your lawn protected across every season
We pay attention to timing. Applying fertilizer or weed control at the wrong point in the season can do more harm than good. We know the Clarksville growing calendar and schedule treatments accordingly.
How Fertilization and Weed Control Work Together
These two services are most effective when they’re combined. A well-fertilized lawn grows thick and dense, which naturally makes it harder for weeds to find room to establish. Weed control clears out the competition so your grass isn’t wasting resources fighting it off. Together, they build the kind of lawn that stays healthier with less effort over time.
Many of our clients pair these treatments with regular lawn mowing and trimming to keep the full yard in top shape. If your lawn also has compacted soil or thin areas, aeration and overseeding can work alongside fertilization to help fill things back in.
A Company You Can Count On

Many of our clients are active-duty soldiers and military families at Fort Campbell who need a lawn care provider they can trust, especially when they’re deployed and not around to check on things themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many times a year does a Clarksville lawn need to be fertilized?
Most lawns in the Clarksville area benefit from four to five fertilization treatments spread throughout the year. The schedule typically includes applications in early spring, late spring, summer, fall, and sometimes a winterizer treatment before the cold sets in. The exact number depends on your grass type, the current condition of your soil, and what you’re trying to achieve. We build a schedule around your specific lawn rather than a fixed formula.
What is the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control?
Pre-emergent weed control is applied to the soil before weed seeds have a chance to germinate. It creates a barrier that stops new weeds from sprouting. Post-emergent weed control targets weeds that are already growing and visible in your lawn. Both have their place, and using them at the right times during the season is what makes the difference between a weed problem that keeps coming back and one that actually gets under control.
Will fertilization treatments burn my grass?
When applied correctly and at the right time, fertilizer should not burn your grass. Problems usually come from applying too much product at once or treating during extreme heat when the lawn is already stressed. We assess your lawn before every treatment and apply at rates and times that are appropriate for your grass type and the current conditions. Watering after application also plays a role, and we’ll walk you through what to expect after each visit.
Can weed control treatments affect my garden beds or other plants?
Selective weed control products are designed to target specific types of plants, typically broadleaf weeds, without harming grasses. However, the area of application matters. We are careful around garden beds, tree lines, and other planted areas when treating your lawn. If you have specific concerns about plants near your lawn areas, let us know before we start and we will account for that during the job.
How soon will I see results after a fertilization or weed control treatment?
Results vary depending on the type of treatment and the condition of your lawn going in. With weed control, many broadleaf weeds start showing visible signs of stress within a few days and die off within one to two weeks. Fertilization results show up more gradually as your grass responds to the added nutrients over several weeks. A lawn that has been nutrient-deficient for a while will take more than one treatment to fully recover, but improvement is usually noticeable within a few weeks of the first application.
