July evenings in Elm Springs smell like cut grass and hay off the fields north of town. J&R Mowing puts that smell in the air one yard at a time — mowing on a set week, trimming fence rows and tree bases, an edge where the pavement ends, and the drive blown down to bare concrete. Bermuda runs hot here and will take a lawn in a hurry if the cuts get spread out; the answer is simply not skipping. Leaves start coming in late October, and clearing them is the rest of the year's work. A mowed yard is a small thing that changes a whole street.
