Alan did a wonderful job and happily corrected the poor job done by the last company. He was polite, friendly and efficient. Alan paid attention to detail and advised me of the condition of my yard and any improvement i could make! I highly recommend him.

The lawn looks fabulous, very professional, edging & height is perfect. Did not expect this, compared to another vendor who mowed last year. This is my second summer here, glad I found you.

Stress-Free Lawn Care in Decatur

Decatur's lawns endure both the intense humidity of Illinois' summers and its cold, snowy winters. LawnStarter pros offer specialized lawn care services crafted to protect them from these harsh extremes.

Our experts will apply fertilizer to ensure your lawn stays healthy in high temperatures and regulate soil moisture to avoid pest problems. We'll also customize aeration to encourage strong roots and thick grass, naturally protecting against cold and enhancing drought tolerance.

Here’s what lawn care in Decatur looks like:

About Your Grass

Like most lawns in Central Illinois, Decatur yards need a grass type that can weather the extremes of the seasons — hence, the preference for cool-season grasses. However, considering Soy City's occasional bouts of summer heat, integrating a warm-season variety can provide resilience during the peak heat.

These are the top choices for Decatur:

  • Kentucky bluegrass: It creates a dense turf that recovers well from damage, ideal for withstanding Illinois' tornado season. Fertilize it well and keep it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
  • Fine fescues: With a fine texture and good shade tolerance, fine fescues maintain their color and density even in the cooler, cloudier parts of the year. Mow it between 2.5 and 4 inches.
  • Perennial ryegrass: This quick-germinating grass complements Kentucky bluegrass by improving durability. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches and watch out for fungal diseases.
  • Zoysiagrass: Add Zoysia only if you want a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant option for areas that cool-season grasses struggle to cover. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches.

When should you plant? The best time to plant grass seed is during the early fall (August to September). Late spring (April) is the second-best option, as the soil begins to warm.

What's the best lawn mowing schedule? For cool-season cultivars, mow weekly from late April to early November. During the hotter months, adjust to a bi-weekly mowing. Zoysiagrass, on the other hand, needs mowing every 5 to 7 days from June to August.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

LawnStarter experts provide a wide range of outdoor services to make your property a well-rounded oasis. These include:

  • Seasonal yard cleanup: We rake leaves, remove dead branches and debris, and prepare your lawn and garden beds for the upcoming season.
  • Shrub care: We keep shrubs tidy and healthy to enhance your landscape.
  • Garden design: We design gardens that thrive in Decatur’s climate, from native Illinois flower beds to drought-resistant plants.

Our pros serve GM Square, Nelson Park, and everywhere in between. Download our app, call, or click today for free quotes, and let us take the outdoor chores off your hands.
