Every February the crack of a bat drifts out of Ed Smith Stadium, and Sarasota remembers it is a ballpark town, a place where infield grass is cut in stripes and nobody shrugs at a ragged border. A Game Land Services brings that ground-crew eye to yards around the city: lawns mowed to an even height, edges squared off along walks and drives, clippings blown clear before the truck pulls away. The dry months are the time to set a lawn up well, while cool mornings let St. Augustine and Bahia grass recover between cuts under a wide, steady blue sky. When the summer rains arrive and growth takes off, the schedule keeps pace instead of chasing it. The result is a yard that looks game-day ready on an ordinary Tuesday.
