The Turf Guys

About The Turf Guys

October comes back to Edmonds the way it always does — soft, gray, and generous with water. The Turf Guys wait all year for it. This is aeration weather: cores pulled from ground that is still warm, seed dropped straight into the holes, fertilizer worked in before the short days arrive. Moss is the standing local rival in these shaded blocks below Olympic View Drive, and the answer is thick grass rather than argument. Big-leaf maples let go by the armful near Pine Ridge Park, and those leaves get cleared off before they mat down and smother what was just planted. By the time the streetlights blink on at half past four, the lawn is fed, swept clean, and set to keep growing all winter in a town where grass never truly quits.
