About Tim's Affordable Lawncare
Started in 2006 with one truck and a small piece of Kingsport to look after.
Tim came home from service, picked up a mower, and started cutting grass for neighbors on the Kingsport side of the Holston ridge. That was 2006. Nearly twenty years on, the truck count's up and the work's the same: lawn care that holds the line week to week, retaining walls that don't bow after two winters, and mulch beds that still look right in August.
We stayed small on purpose. Tim runs the calls. The crew that shows up is the crew you'll keep seeing. And we made one change a lot of operators won't — we put propane on the mowers, so your Saturday morning sounds a little quieter and the air around the bed of the truck doesn't smell like a gas can.
If it can't hold up through a Tri-Cities winter, it doesn't go in the ground.
— Tim, owner
What we do — Tri-Cities
The work, plainly.
Lawn care week to week. Hardscape and retaining walls when the yard needs structure. Mulch, leaf cleanup, and seasoned firewood when the season calls for it.
- from $2,800
Dry-stack retaining walls
Stone or block, hand-set on a compacted base with proper drainage behind. Built to hold East TN grade through freeze-thaw. Most jobs run 2–4 days.
- from $1,800
Hardscape & river-rock
Paver patios, river-rock dry creeks, stepping-stone paths. Drainage planned first, finish second. We grade for water before we set a stone.
- from $320
Mulching — hardwood & pine-straw
Bed edging, weed pull, fresh hardwood mulch or pine-straw — your call. Refreshed once or twice a year keeps beds tight without the volcano look on the trunks.
- from $180
Leaf cleanup & overseed
Fall leaf hauling and fescue overseed in October–November; dormant pruning in winter; Bermuda overseed and pre-emergent on the spring side.
- from $160
Seasoned firewood — split & delivered
Seasoned hardwood split and stacked, delivered across the Tri-Cities. Half-cord and full-cord. Order ahead in October — winters here move fast.
On the mowers — propane
Most lawn crews run gas.
We don’t.
Propane burns cleaner, runs quieter, costs less per running hour — and your neighbors thank you for it. We switched the mowers over because the tradeoffs made sense on the work, not because it looked good on a website.
One tank, one mower, a quieter morning.
- 01
Quieter on the property line.
A propane mower runs noticeably softer than a comparable gas engine — enough that we can cut a yard at 7 a.m. on a Saturday without anyone calling the city.
- 02
Cleaner air around the work.
Propane burns with far fewer particulates than gasoline. No oily smell hanging in the bed of the truck, none of that blue haze around the deck after a long pass.
- 03
Lower fuel cost per cut.
Per running hour, propane comes in under premium gas in this market. That savings goes into us being able to keep the lawn-rotation pricing where it is, year after year.
A note on honesty: we’re not all-propane yet. The fleet is a mix, and the conversion is ongoing. The point isn’t to claim a clean badge — it’s that we made the change at all, and we’re still making it.
How it works
What hiring us looks like.
- 01
You call us
Tell us the address and what you're looking at — a yard you want on a rotation, a wall you want built, a bed you want fixed. Five minutes is enough.
- 02
We come look
Free walkthrough. We measure, look at the grade and the drainage, and ask the questions that change the price.
- 03
Written estimate
Clear number, broken out by line item. No surprise upsells later.
- 04
Scheduled work
We pick a window with you. Weekly lawn rotations start the next cycle; wall and hardscape jobs usually land within 2–3 weeks.
- 05
Walkthrough & invoice
We don't pack up until you've walked it with us and the yard's clean. Invoice goes out after.
That’s it. No portals, no logins — a phone call or an email is all it takes.
Service area — Tri-Cities, East TN
Out of Kingsport, across the Tri-Cities.
Weekly lawn rotations stay close to home — Kingsport, Bloomingdale, Colonial Heights. Hardscape and wall jobs travel further: Bristol (right on the TN/VA line), Johnson City, Jonesborough, Greeneville, and out to Erwin on the Nolichucky.
Sketch map — not to scale. The state line really does cut through Bristol’s downtown; locals call State Street the border.

Veteran-owned
Tim served, came home, and started cutting grass in Kingsport.
That was 2006. Nearly twenty years later, the company’s still owner-run out of the same town. We don’t make a big show of the veteran-owned part — the work and the years are what we’d rather you measure us by. But it’s on the truck, it’s on the invoices, and if you’re a vet yourself we’ll usually take a little off the first job. Just mention it on the call.
Reviews — Kingsport & the Tri-Cities
Quiet pride, twenty years of repeat work.
Tim built a dry-stack wall along the side of the driveway that had been slumping for years. Came in two days, drained right, looks like it's been there forever. Crew was easy to have around.
Been on Tim's rotation for three summers. They show up the same day every week, leave the yard cleaner than they found it, and the mowers don't wake the kids up at 7 a.m. like the last crew did.
Had three quotes for a retaining wall and a paver path. Tim's wasn't the cheapest but he was the only one who walked the drainage with me before quoting. That tells you everything.
We've had Tim mulch our beds and overseed the fescue every fall for going on six years now. Honest pricing, no upsells, the work just gets done.
Ordered a full cord of seasoned hardwood in October. Delivered when they said, split and stacked clean against the shed. Burned hot all winter.
Tim and the guys took on a river-rock dry creek through the front yard that two other landscapers passed on because of the slope. Looks like it's always been there.

Plain answers, no runaround.
Burns cleaner than gas, runs quieter, and the per-hour fuel cost is lower. Means we can mow on a Saturday morning in a quiet neighborhood without anyone calling the city. It's not a marketing line — we made the switch because it actually works better.
