Seed Timing in a Town With a Real Storm Season

Hydroseeding in Collierville means planning around the weather more than in most places. The town's spring, starting in late February or early March, is known locally as severe weather season, with more tornadoes, hail and damaging wind. Tornado activity here runs above the Tennessee average and about 188 percent of the U.S. average, with April historically the peak month. A freshly sprayed lawn can handle normal rain, but a slope seeded the day before a strong storm line is at real risk.

How we handle that risk

We watch the forecast closely in spring and would rather move a job by a few days than spray right before a big front. On banks and swales we add a bonded fiber matrix or straw blankets so the soil has protection the day it is seeded, not weeks later when the grass fills in.

Headwaters of Nonconnah Creek

Nonconnah Creek starts in far southeastern Shelby County near Collierville and has been channelized from its mouth to near Houston Levee Road. Runoff from yards and building sites in town feeds that system. On active construction lots we put in silt fence and inlet protection before the dirt work is finished, then seed as soon as final grade is set.

About 55 inches of rain a year

Collierville receives around 55 inches of rain annually, with spring a little wetter than the rest of the year. December is the third rainiest month. That means fall-seeded fescue gets plenty of natural moisture, while summer bermuda seeding relies more on irrigation.

Older streets and new subdivisions

The historic town square has been on the National Register since 1990, and the town around it has grown to more than 51,000 people. Work ranges from renovating small lawns near the square to seeding whole new phases on the edge of town.

Collierville Questions

Should I wait until after April to seed my Collierville yard?

For a flat lawn, spring seeding is fine with normal care. For slopes, we prefer to protect the soil with blankets or BFM if seeding during the stormiest weeks.

A storm washed out part of my new lawn. Can you patch it?

Yes. We regrade the washed area, add topsoil if needed and hydroseed the patch so it blends with the rest.

Do builders here need silt fence before seeding?

Sediment control usually goes in during construction, before final grading. We can install and maintain it, then seed when the lot is ready.

Which grass do you recommend for a sunny Collierville lot?

Bermudagrass or zoysia handle full sun and summer heat well. We sow them once the soil has warmed in late spring.
