June in Richmond is all growth. Rain crosses the prairie in the afternoon, soaks the yards on the west side of the village, and by Saturday the grass has gotten ahead of everybody. Roos Lawn Care rides that surge — mowing on a schedule that keeps pace with it, trimming close along foundations and fence posts, edging the drive so the yard has a shape again, and clearing the clippings before they can mat down. In the long evening light after a cut, a lawn holds its stripes like something combed. That's the whole point: a yard the family can walk out into without a chore hanging over it.
