July here has a shape you can set a watch by: bright and heavy by nine, a thunderhead stacking up over Buford Highway around four, then steam rising off the asphalt at six. Hector's Lawn Care works the front half of that day, cutting while the grass still has some give and finishing before the sky opens. Mowing, edging, trimming, walks blown clean — then hedges taken back a hand's width and mulch topped off where the rain has washed it thin. Come autumn the leaves take over and the cleanups begin. It's hot, plain, satisfying work, and the proof is right there at the curb: a yard that looks square-shouldered while the rest of the street wilts.
