July on Ten Mile, ninety degrees by ten in the morning, and the mowers are running anyway. Heat like that is when lawn care earns itself: cutting high so the grass keeps its color, keeping blades sharp, staying off stressed turf, trimming and edging so a tired lawn still looks intentional. The year runs longer than one hot month, of course, with cleanups in spring, mulch and beds in May, shrubs shaped in June and leaves cleared in the weeks after the maples turn. Hazel Park's lots sit close-packed and easy to overlook, which is exactly why a well-kept one carries all the way down the block. Doing it in every month is the whole idea behind the name.
