July around here is loud with cicadas and mower engines, and by Friday afternoon half the town smells like cut grass. Ruttan Brothers Lawncare LLC keeps that going — weekly mowing, string trimming, edging along walks and drives, and blowing the clippings back off the concrete before the truck pulls away. In a dry August the cut goes higher so the turf holds what moisture it can; after a wet stretch they double back. Fall means leaves, and a river town lined with old shade trees produces a great many of them. A yard that stays even all summer takes no drama at all, which is precisely the idea.
