About Lawn Commander

Every route starts with a handful of streets and grows out from there, one yard after another, until the whole map is familiar. Lawn Commander works those streets and the yards that run out from them, where a lawn has to hold its own against heat, weather and time. When summer leaves late, the cutting season stretches long and the grass never quite stops asking. There is a plain satisfaction in the last pass of a morning: the stripes lying even, the trimmer having found every fence post and mailbox stem, the clippings blown off the concrete so the walk reads sharp against the green. One yard at a time, until the light goes long and low across the street in the evening.
