An afternoon thunderstorm crosses Shawnee and leaves the place steaming — puddles standing in the sand ruts, cicadas starting up again, everything a shade greener than it was an hour before. Stevens Lawn Service, LLC follows that weather all summer, waiting out the wet and then mowing yards back into shape once the turf will stand up to a blade. Trimming goes around pines, posts and porch piers; edging holds the grass back from creeping across the concrete; the walks get cleared with a blower before pulling out. Bed maintenance and shrub trimming fill the space between cuts. It is ordinary upkeep, kept up honestly, on properties scattered across the county.
