August on Belmont Hill: the heat sits down and stays, the grass slows, and every lawn asks for a lighter touch and a sharper blade. J Landscaping LLC mows through it on the east side of Worcester, trimming the fence lines, edging the walks and keeping the beds from swallowing the turf. Up near Bell Pond the ground rolls enough that no two yards mow the same way twice. The measure of a good afternoon is a property that looks unhurried once the truck pulls away. When the cool weeks arrive the leaves begin, and those same lawns get cleaned back down to green.
