About Lee Lawnmower

Winter in Santa Ana is a handful of grey rainy days scattered across three months, and in between them the grass keeps growing as though nothing had happened. Lee Lawnmower works those in-between days — mowing once the ground will bear a machine, recutting edges the rain has softened, clearing what came down along First Street and the blocks off it. Machines get cleaned and kept sharp, because a dull blade tears wet grass instead of cutting it and torn grass browns at the tip. Feeding goes down in the cool season, when roots will actually use it. Small details, but they are the difference you can see from the street come April.
