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.

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.
