Mid-July in Bedford Township is thick air, cicadas winding up in the maples along Jackman Road, and grass that grows an inch in the time it takes to think about it. BG'S Lawn Service works straight through it — mowing, string trimming, edging along walks and drives, and clearing the clippings so nothing mats down in the heat. A big flat yard out here takes a plan: which way to lay the stripes, where to turn without scuffing, how to leave the whole thing looking like one piece of cloth. There is a moment at the end when the trimmer goes quiet and the lawn just sits there, even and green in the late light. That is the part worth doing well.
