In Hudson the wind gets to a yard before anyone else does, coming off the wheat ground and down the county roads with nothing in its way to slow it. All Pro Lawn Care Inc is partial to the first warm week of May, when the turf finally decides to come back and a mower can lay down its first clean lines of the year. Mowing, edging, string trimming, fertilizing, aeration, and the cleanups that open and close a plains summer — plain words for work that rewards a steady hand. The proof shows up late in the day, when the light goes long and low and every stripe on the grass stands up in it. Out here, where the Rockies are only a blue seam along the western skyline, a sharply cut lawn is something you can see from the far end of the block.
