Jacobo's Lawn Service

About Jacobo's Lawn Service

Down at the Suisun City waterfront the tide moves in the channel and an egret stands in the shallows as though it has nowhere else to be. A few minutes north, Jacobo's Lawn Service is running mowers across Fairfield yards, cutting, edging, trimming close to fences and foundations, clearing the clippings off. Grass here grows on the rain and survives on the schedule, and the schedule is the part people cannot keep for themselves. There is a plain joy in the last pass, when the stripes line up and the border reads sharp. That is what gets handed back at the end of the visit.
