Before sunrise in Lake County the water lies flat and steam-still, and the day has not yet decided how hot it intends to be. Lake Arthur Landscaping likes to be rolling by then, opening with mowing while the dew is on and moving into edging and string trimming as the sun clears the pines around Mascotte. Every visit closes the same way: hedges checked, borders trimmed, hard surfaces swept down with the blower. On a steady rotation a lawn never gets far enough ahead to need rescuing. Handing back a yard that looks settled and unhurried is exactly why the day starts early.
