The most important day of a Decatur lawn's year falls in February, when the soil is still cold and nothing looks like it is happening at all. That is when pre-emergent goes down, and it is the difference between a June lawn and a June crabgrass patch. Simmons Weed Control times the whole calendar around it — pre-emergent early, post-emergent through the season for whatever slips past, fertilization so the turf can close its own gaps, and mowing that keeps the grass thick enough to crowd weeds out on its own. From the streets around Belvedere Park to the older blocks in town, the aim never changes: uniform green, edge to edge, with nothing in it that does not belong.
