First light at Coffee Bluff lays a pink stripe on the water, and the boats are already out past the bend. J & S Maintenance starts about that same hour, moving through Montgomery with mowers, trimmers, edgers and blowers before the humidity gets its full grip on the day. Down here the grass hardly rests, so a mild winter stretches the season long and the routine matters more than any single cut. There is pride in a lawn that looks the same good way every week, no catching up, no starting over. By the time the heat sets in the trailer is loaded and another street looks squared away.
