North of the city toward Rives Junction the soil turns sandy and a two-week dry spell shows up in the grass before it shows up anywhere else. Jp Lawn Services reads that and mows accordingly, lifting the deck when the lawn is stressed and dropping it back when the rain returns, so the yard stays green rather than getting scalped in the name of a schedule. Hot afternoons out on that flat, open ground make for long straight passes and a stripe pattern you can see from the road. Trimming and edging finish it — around the mailbox post, the shed corner, the ditch line where the mower cannot follow. Steady, unhurried, week after week, until the last cut of the fall.
