September is the month grass around here actually wants: cool nights, warm ground, rain that finally stays put. RTG TURF SERVICES puts that window to work on Elgin lawns, aerating compacted ground, overseeding the thin spots, feeding the turf so it goes into winter with something in reserve. The mowing carries the rest of the year, cut high through the dry heat of July and dropped back down as the season eases off. Turf is not decoration; it is a living surface that answers to timing. Get the calendar right and the lawn does most of the rest itself.
