At midday in July the pavement between Crete and the county line goes to shimmer, and the only cool thing anywhere is the smell of fresh-cut grass. Lawn Care Express runs its route through that heat, mowing, trimming and edging yard after yard while the sun does its worst. Speed here is not haste; it is knowing a property well enough to move through it without wasting a pass. The season opens with cleanup and closes with leaves, and in between it is simply the weekly cut, on time, on schedule. Crete lawns, kept even from April to the last mow of the fall.
