July in Fairfield is thick — humid air off the meadows, thunder stacking up west over the Caldwells, and grass that either grows or gives up depending on how it has been fed. Ned's Pest Control and Lawn Treatment works the turf side of that: lawn treatment and fertilization on a seasonal schedule, weed control, and the attention that keeps a stand of grass dense enough to hold its own. Ballfields and backyards here take a beating in a hot August, and a lawn that comes through it green did not manage that alone. The satisfaction is color that holds when the heat refuses to break. Fairfield summers are long, and a lawn can be ready for them.
