By two o'clock on most July afternoons the thunderheads have stacked over the Mogollon Rim and Taylor smells like wet juniper before a drop has fallen. Mountain Septic Solutions takes the lawns in that window — mowing, trimming and carting off the clippings while the light holds. Monsoon rain pushes grass hard up here, and a yard can go from tidy to shaggy inside a week, so the schedule matters more than anything else. What is left behind is clean turf, cleared beds, and rock free of the weeds a storm wakes up. Around Taylor and Snowflake that is what summer looks like: rain in the afternoon, mowers in the morning, yards holding their shape in between.
