September finally lets go of the worst of the heat, and the centipede on the southside stops racing the mower. Turf Services Inc works with what actually grows in this sandy coastal ground, holding it at a height it can carry and edging it clean where it meets pavement. Mowing, trimming, edging, blowing off the drives and walks — all of it on a rhythm, so the lawn is never playing catch-up. Around Windsor Forest and Georgetown the lots run generous and the pines shed straw the whole fall, which gets cleared away instead of chopped up underfoot. Turf treated like turf pays a person back.
