Most of a lawn lives underground, which is why October counts for more in Irmo than people expect. Royal Roots Lawn Care works from that idea — mowing and edging on schedule all season, then the fall attention that sets a yard up for the year: leaves off, beds cleaned out, grass cut down and kept open so light and water reach the crown. Shrubs get trimmed once the growth has slowed enough to hold a shape. Then the Midlands green-up arrives early and the mowing begins again in earnest. A yard whose roots have been looked after is the one still holding color deep into August.
