Out at Pinckneyville the ballfields stay clipped and lined all summer, and there is a lesson sitting in plain view: grass looks its best when somebody comes back every week without being asked. Mr Green Landscaping runs Norcross yards on that principle, mowing on a set day, edging so beds keep their outline, trimming and blowing so nothing is left half-done. June turns the Piedmont humid and doubles the growth, which is exactly when a schedule earns its keep. Mulch goes down, weeds come out, shrubs get pulled back off the windows and the walk. A yard never gets away from you if you never let it start.
