The coast is close enough to Springfield that a June afternoon usually sends its breeze inland, moving through the live oaks about the time the heat peaks. Coastal Grass & Landscape Inc works Effingham County lawns in that air — mowing, edging along walks and beds, trimming the fence lines, then blowing every cutting off the concrete before pulling away. Grass grows hard in this humidity, and a week is a long time between visits from June to September. Keeping pace with it is the whole discipline of the season. The reward is a yard that looks even and deliberate from the road, right through the wettest part of summer.
