Late in the day the light goes long and low across Phoenix front yards, and every ridge the mower left shows up like grain in wood. CV Landscaping Services likes that hour — it is when you can tell whether the stripes are true, whether the edge along the sidewalk is one continuous line, whether anything got missed under the hedge. Mowing, edging, trimming and a clean sweep of the hard surfaces make up the round, week after week, on the same day so nobody has to wonder. Yards look after the people who live in them, and keeping one steady is a quiet way of looking back.
