By August the drive between Greenwood and Fort Smith shimmers, the roadside grass goes brittle, and the watered lawns in town stand out green for a mile. Hicks Lawncare Services keeps those lawns cut through the hardest weeks of it — mowing high enough that the turf can shade its own roots, trimming the edges, then sweeping the walks down to clean concrete before rolling on. Heat is the real season here; it decides how often a yard needs a pass and how short it can stand to be. When the weather finally breaks, the work turns to leaves and to cleaning out beds and fencelines ahead of winter. Every yard gets left looking finished, not just shorter.
