Aftershock yard cleanup and maintenance

About Aftershock yard cleanup and maintenance

August storms arrive over the Morongo Basin in a hurry — an hour of thunder, water running brown down every wash, then the smell of wet creosote hanging over the whole town. Aftershock yard cleanup and maintenance works the morning after: branches down, gravel pushed into drifts, grass flattened and full of grit. They rake and haul it out, cut the lawn back to level, trim what the storm broke, and edge the beds so the yard reads as tended rather than merely survived. Cleanup is in the name because it is the part they like best — the before-and-after you can see from the street. From there the maintenance takes over: regular mowing, weeding and the standing arrangement that the place stays that way.
