Out on the east side the subdivisions run up against the oak groves near Rock Cut, and the lawns there hold their dew until midmorning. Rockford Lawn Care runs the whole season through: cutting on a schedule, trimming fence lines and mailbox posts, edging the walks, and clearing what the thaw or the leaf-fall leaves behind. Midsummer is the test — hot, close weeks when the grass grows overnight and every yard wants attention on the same afternoon. The measure of the job is a crisp edge along the sidewalk and a cut that looks the same in the back as it does out front. That is the standard, week after week, until the mowers go quiet in November.
