Alex’s Grass Care

About Alex’s Grass Care

June out toward Pemberton Historical Park is all shade and standing heat — the mill-pond trail cool under the canopy while the open ground beyond it climbs into the eighties by ten o'clock. Alex's Grass Care starts early for exactly that reason, mowing while the dew is still down and the ground is firm underfoot. Every yard gets the same three motions — cut, trim, edge — and then a walk-around to blow the drive and the front walk back to bare concrete. On the Eastern Shore grass grows the better part of nine months a year, and staying ahead of it is less about heroics than about arriving on the right day, week after week. Come November the mower gives way to the blower, the leaves go, and the yard is set down for winter looking neat.
