When the first real rain of September lands out here, the creosote lets go of that smell every southern Arizonan knows, and the ground drinks it in an hour. Landscaping By J & C works the weeks on either side of those storms — mowing as the bermuda surges, trimming, edging, and hauling off cuttings along with whatever the wind left in the yard. Summer mowing starts early in the morning, because afternoons on this flat ground are not negotiable. Feeding and weed control run on a plan so the turf goes into fall thick enough to overseed. Saguaro on the ridge, a clean-cut lawn at the wall, and a walk with not one clipping left on it — that is the look worth chasing.
