Watering is a decision here, not an afterthought — Craig sits high and dry, and every green yard in town is somebody's daily argument with the climate. Cox Lawn Care works the front end of summer mornings, before heat comes up off the pavement, mowing and trimming while the sprinkler heads are still ticking. Fertilizer and weed control go down on schedule, aeration opens the ground ahead of the fall rains, and beds get mulched so the water stays where it was put. There is a real satisfaction in the moment the mower shuts off and the yard goes quiet, striped and squared and finished. By October the sprinklers are blown out and the leaves are gone, and the place is put to bed for winter.
