First light in Washington still holds the cool off the creek bottoms, and the dew sits heavy enough to show every footprint across a front yard. That is when HawkinsMow&Go rolls — gates down, ramps out, the day's route stitched through the neighborhoods and back out toward the ball fields. Mowing, string trimming, edging and a quick blow-down of the walks; in season, the leaf work and the opening tidy-up of spring. By the time the town is properly awake a dozen lawns are already standing at attention and the truck is two streets over. Cut grass is one of the few smells that can make a whole block feel like summer.
