September is the honest month for a lawn in Johnstown — nights cooling, the sun losing its edge, roots doing the work the grass couldn't manage in July. C&C LAWN SPECIALISTS leans into that stretch: mowing at a height the turf can live with, overseeding the thin spots, pulling cores so water and air finally get down through Weld County's tight clay. The rest of the year is the plain discipline of it, trimming and edging and cleanups week over week, while sunflowers go to seed along the fence lines outside town. Turf here is grown, not bought; a green yard on the plains is somebody's routine, kept. Johnstown and the neighboring towns.
