Summers maintenance men

About Summers maintenance men

Flagler Avenue in high summer smells like sunscreen and rain on hot asphalt, and the cottages on the side streets grow their grass faster than anyone expects. Summers maintenance men keep those blocks in order through the wet months and the quiet ones — mowing, edging, trimming, blowing down the walks and cutting hedges back to a level top. Between June and September the rain does half the growing and the mower does all the answering, so the schedule holds firm and the route keeps moving. What lasts is the look of a small yard done completely: nothing shaggy at the fence post, nothing left on the sidewalk, the whole thing squared away. New Smyrna Beach wears that well.
