Los Banos gets loud and bright in May, the fairgrounds filling up and the whole town suddenly interested in how its yards look. Villa's Maintenance is busy well before that, mowing through the spring surge when valley grass grows faster than anyone plans for, edging the lines back into place and trimming the corners it has crept into. Clippings pile up quickly in those weeks and are carried off each visit. Keeping ahead of spring is mostly a matter of showing up on schedule rather than after the fact. The reward is a lawn that looks effortless in the exact month everybody is outside looking at it.
