Morning in the river valley starts with fog lying in the low ground and dew heavy enough to soak a boot through. Hasken Lawn Care LLC waits for it to lift, then makes the first pass of the day while the air is still cool and the grass stands up straight. Mowing, string trimming around trees and posts, edging where the turf tries to creep over the walk, and a clean blow-down before leaving — the yard gets left the way you would leave your own. The first cut of May is the one to look forward to, when the grass has come up thick out of a Dunleith winter and a single pass turns a shaggy lot back into a lawn. After that it is every week, steady, right on through to the leaves.
