Keeping a beautiful lawn in Middle Tennessee comes with its own set of challenges—but the right approach can make all the difference. We spoke with two local professionals, Sonnie Potts of Potts Lawn Care and Calab Doores of Affordable Landscape & Lighting, to share expert insight on maintaining healthy lawns and creating outdoor spaces homeowners love.

What sparked your passion for lawn care?

Sonnie Potts, Potts Lawn Care: “My passion started with enjoying the outdoors and seeing the transformation that comes from improving a property. Turning an ordinary space into something beautiful and functional is incredibly rewarding.”

Calab Doores, Affordable Landscape & Lighting: “I’ve always
appreciated the difference a well-maintained property can make. That passion grew into a business focused on helping homeowners take pride in their outdoor spaces.

What challenges do homeowners face in our area?

Potts: “Clay soil, drainage issues, and hot summers can make lawn care difficult. We also see thin turf and poor long-term planning in landscaping.”

Doores: “We deal with aggressive weeds, changing weather, and tough soil conditions. Seasonal transitions can also be hard on grass and plants.”

What can homeowners do between lawncare visits?

Potts: “Keep mower blades sharp, water deeply but less often, and maintain proper mowing height. Clearing debris also helps lawns stay healthy.”

Doores: “Water early in the morning, cut grass at the right height, and stay ahead of weeds. Consistent care makes a big difference.”

What trends are you seeing right now?

Potts: “Outdoor living spaces are huge—patios, fire pits, and lighting that extend how people use their homes.”

Doores: “Homeowners want functional, low-maintenance spaces with lighting, entertainment areas, and clean landscape design.”

What services do you offer that people may not
know about?
Potts: “Beyond lawn care, we design and install landscapes, patios, retaining walls, fire pits, and lighting.”

Doores: “We provide drainage solutions, landscape lighting,
seasonal cleanups, and full property improvement services.”

What do you enjoy most about serving
this community?

Potts: “Building relationships and helping homeowners take pride in their property is the most rewarding part.”

Doores: “Seeing the transformation of a property and earning customers’ trust year after year means everything to us.”
