By mid-July the sandy ground under Fair Plain drinks a rain almost before it finishes falling, and the lawns of Benton charter township tell you exactly how the week went. High Point Irrigation keeps them cut and tended — mowing on a set rotation, trimming close around posts and beds, edging the walkways, and hauling off what gathers by season's end. A lake breeze slides inland most afternoons and takes the worst of the heat with it, which makes late-day work here a pleasure rather than a chore. Blades stay sharp, the cut stays high enough to shade the roots, and the color holds. There is real satisfaction in a yard that still looks green deep into August.
