Last yard of the day in August, and the shadows are running long across the grass. W. Torres Landscaping finishes it with the same care the first cut of the morning got — lines even, trimmer worked around every fence post, clippings blown off the drive and swept from the walk. Vernon summers hold their heat well past supper, and the reward for staying out in it is a lawn that looks cool and finished under low sun. Beds tidied, hedges kept in shape, everything squared away before the engine ticks down. Then the tailgate goes up and the street goes quiet again.
