By late July the crape myrtles in Brewton's front yards are throwing color and the afternoon thunderheads start stacking before three o'clock. Cortes Lawn Care runs early against that clock — mowing, trimming, edging and a full cleanup finished while the shade is still on the east side of the house. Hot-weather grass is unforgiving; skip a week and it shows from the street. Holding the schedule through the thickest part of summer is what leaves a lawn crisp instead of shaggy, and that difference is the entire point. Cortes covers Brewton and the stretches out toward Cadwell and East Dublin.
