October is when the ridge above the river at Capitol Hill turns clear and blue and the grass finally slows down enough to be admired. Bama Greens Lawn Service takes its cue from that light: mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanups, leaves moved off before they mat down over the turf. Around Prattville the Bermuda goes straw-gold by December and comes back in a rush come April, and the work follows that swing without complaint. There is a quiet reward in walking off a finished lawn and seeing the mow lines run true to the driveway. That is the entire reason to do it carefully.
