August evenings out along Highway 24, the pines hold the day's heat and the crickets start up before the sun is all the way down. Grasshopper Mowing runs its Louisville routes around that clock — early cuts before the humidity stacks up, mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing walks and drives clear. Centipede and bahia lawns in Jefferson County will run wild through a wet August, and staying out in front of them is the whole job. There is a plain kind of pride in pulling into a yard that got away from somebody and leaving it even and clean behind you. Louisville, Avera, Stapleton, Wadley and Wrens are where the trailer goes.
