An August evening on the west side of Lockport smells like cut grass and somebody's grill, and the shadows finally stretch long enough to work in comfort. Zach's Landscaping is out in that hour — mowing, trimming around light posts and play sets, edging the walk, blowing the driveway clean before the truck pulls off. Late-summer turf wants a lighter touch, cut high so the roots stay cool while the heat holds. When the weather breaks in September the growth returns and the schedule tightens right back up. Every yard on the block, every week, until the leaves say stop.
