Midsummer in Bowne Township smells like cut hay and warm dust, and the hills southeast of Lowell hold the heat well past supper. Top Turf & Pest LLC works the lawns in that country — mowing on the grade, trimming tight to fence posts and foundations, edging walks and drives so the shape holds through the week. Kent County ground grows fast in June and stubbornly in August, which means showing up on schedule either way. When the leaves come down over Alto and Bowne Center they get cleared off before the grass goes dormant underneath them. A yard that keeps its shape all season is worth the standing appointment.
