Most of what makes a lawn look good in Bulloch County happens below the blade. Heat, sandy soil and a growing season that runs from March deep into November give weeds every opportunity, and a thin lawn in Statesboro will find them all. Heaton's Lawn Treatment works that side of the trade — turf treatment through the season, weed control, feeding the grass so it can crowd out its competition — alongside the mowing, edging and trimming that keep the surface honest. The change is gradual and then obvious: color evening out, thin spots filling, the whole yard reading as one thing instead of a patchwork. That slow turn is one of the quieter satisfactions in this line of work.
