Late August in Evergreen township smells like dry corn leaves and warm gravel, and the thunderheads build in the west all afternoon before deciding anything. Pure Lawns Lawn Care works between them — mowing the yards, running the trimmer around the propane tank and the swing set and the old apple tree, then clearing the cut off the drive. They keep the height right for the season so the grass holds moisture through the dry weeks and greens back up fast after a rain. Come spring they rake the winter out of the beds and borders and get the first cut down before the dandelions take a vote. What they like is the moment of leaving: a yard squared away, the mower quiet, the road dust settling behind them.
