Modesto's arch over I Street still spells out the city's old motto, Water Wealth Contentment Health, and the town has never quite let go of the warm summer nights of cruising that inspired American Graffiti. Malone Turf approaches Modesto lawns in the spirit of a well-shined classic car, so a front yard looks as polished as anything out on the boulevard on a Saturday night. Turf in the valley grows fast under long days, and regular mowing, neat edging and swept walks keep it showroom-ready from June until the valley cools in autumn. Water and health are right there in the motto, and a healthy, even lawn is a fair way to honor both. Pull up to the curb, and the grass should look ready for its close-up.
