October is when the shaded lawns of Smyrna get their second life. Perfect Turf Landscaping, L.L.C. runs the aerator across compacted ground, leaves the cores to melt down in the first cool rain, and drops fescue seed while the soil still holds summer warmth. Fertilizer follows, and then the patient weeks of watching thin ground turn into a solid stand before winter. The rest of the year is mowing and edging on rotation, with weed control so the turf keeps everything it earned. Come spring the difference between a seeded lawn and a skipped one is plain from the road.
