About Ledo's Lawn Maintenance

Noon in July is bright and dead still, the kind of heat that makes an unmown yard look worn out. Keeping up means arriving the same day every week whether the grass put on four inches or two, and cutting at a height that lets the lawn hold its moisture through a dry stretch. Around the house it is trimming — foundations, posts, the ring at the base of every tree — and then a sweep of the walk and the drive so nothing tracks indoors. Thunderheads can pile up by late afternoon and the whole neighborhood starts to smell like rain, so the aim is to have the last yard finished before it breaks. A lawn that never gets away from you in midsummer is worth the early start.
