August storms build over the headwaters north of Clayton and let go all at once, and by morning half the yards in the valley have limbs and leaf strewn across them. H/L Trash Monkey shows up for the aftermath and the ordinary weeks alike, handling lawn care around Clayton — mowing, trimming, edging, yard cleanups, and hauling off the debris that piles up over a season. The name is cheerful about it, but the job is plain: leave the grass cut and the ground clear. There's a moment when the last load goes out and a yard looks like itself again. That moment is what the whole day is for.
