A Burbank yard is a small square with a lot of edges — the walk, the drive, the alley apron, the fence eighteen inches from the neighbor's. Cesar's Lawn Maintenance & Services works all of them, mowing the open middle and then trimming down every line until the lot reads sharp. July here is hot and flat and the grass wants cutting on the week whether anyone is home or not. Cleanups bracket the season, spring and fall, beds and the long strip beside the garage included. On blocks where the houses sit this close, one tidy lawn lifts the whole row.
