About Surles lawn crew

October finally takes the edge off Dallas County — mornings cool enough to want a jacket, light coming in low and yellow across the yards, the air going still by evening. That is when pecan hulls start dropping and the leaves come down faster than any one person can keep pace with, and Surles lawn crew works straight through it: mowing while the grass still asks for it, edging the drives back to a clean line, raking and hauling off the leaf fall. Autumn cuts are the ones that show, because a lawn holds its shape for weeks once the growing slows. There is real pride in leaving a yard tidy going into the cold months, the borders sharp and the beds swept out. Around Selma and out toward Valley Grande, that is how the season gets put to bed.
