Richmond Lawn and Landscape

About Richmond Lawn and Landscape

A thunderstorm builds up from the southwest, drops an inch on New Richmond in twenty minutes, and by evening the whole town smells like cut grass and wet asphalt. Richmond Lawn and Landscape works the days after — mowing growth that arrived overnight, trimming, edging, shaping bed lines and clearing whatever the wind brought down. Turf here sits on old river-terrace ground, quick to drain and quick to green up when the rain finally comes. Reading that, and cutting at the right height for it, is the difference between a lawn that holds through August and one that quits in the second week. The good version looks effortless, which is the joke of it.
