Decatur sits on black prairie soil deep enough that it grew tallgrass for ten thousand years before it ever grew a front lawn. Grassroots Lawncare Services works with that inheritance — mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup on yards that will green up hard every May if they are treated right. Early in the season the ground near Torrence Park is still soft, and the first cuts are taken carefully, high and light. Through the summer it becomes a rhythm: the same day, the same route, the grass never allowed to get away. What the neighbors see is a level, unbroken lawn and a walk swept clean; what makes it is showing up on the week it matters.
