Salisbury Park still smells like horses at daybreak, riders out on the soft trails while the rest of Parker is only starting the coffee. JL & M Services keeps that same early clock — trailers rolling before the heat, mowers cutting grass that is still cool and standing straight. The work is mowing, trimming, edging and the cleanups that bracket a season, carried across yard after yard in a steady line. Douglas County lawns are handed nothing by this climate, which is exactly what makes a thick, even one worth noticing. There is a good half hour at dawn when the light comes in level and every fresh edge shows itself.
