Late-summer afternoons on the east side of Benton Harbor smell like cut grass and somebody's tomatoes ripening on the vine. Velazquez lawn care LLC keeps those blocks tidy — mowing, string trimming, edging the sidewalks and drives, and cleanups in spring and fall that clear away whatever the season leaves behind. Grass in this river town comes on hard after every warm rain, and a yard can turn shaggy in nine days. Getting there before it does, week after week, is most of the craft. What is left when the truck pulls away is a lawn that looks the way the block deserves.
