August dusk lasts a long time here — the heat lets go slowly, cicadas take over, and the grass finally quits fighting the sun. Pete's Irrigation & Light Co works the lawns of Wabash precinct through that stretch: mowing on schedule, trimming clean around beds, posts and foundations, edging drives and walks, clearing the yard down when the growing months close. Ground this near the Wabash bottoms greens up in a hurry after a storm, and a lawn can look like a different lawn two days apart. Cutting it right — even height, straight lines, nothing left on the concrete — is the difference between a mowed yard and a finished one. That difference is the whole reason to hire anybody.
