In October the air downtown carries the smell of fruit from the crush, and the square at City Park fills with people who walked over from Spring Street. Guerra's Landscaping keeps the lawns in the blocks around that center — mowing them even, cutting the edges hard against the concrete, trimming what a mower cannot reach. Autumn here is no shutdown; the grass keeps growing while the hills stay tawny and the nights turn cold. So the work holds its rhythm straight through the season, one yard at a time. A trimmed lawn in the low autumn sun of Paso Robles is worth stopping to look at.
