Midday along Del Amo Boulevard the heat comes up off the asphalt, and the Bermuda grass loves every bit of it. GR Brothers Landcare works with what actually grows in Carson — warm-season turf that turns greedy in summer and goes quiet in winter — cutting it low and tight in the hot months and easing off when it slows. Edges are finished by hand where the mower cannot reach, weeds pulled from beds before they seed, hedges brought back to a straight face. Feeding and weed control go down on the turf's schedule rather than the calendar's. Come back a week later and the stripes are still there; that is the whole point.
