Fair week in August is packed dirt and midway lights on the Midland grounds, and the smell of cut grass coming from everywhere else in town. Post Lawn Care is out in that everywhere-else, running mowers through the deep heat of the summer — cutting, trimming, edging, holding a height the turf can survive the sun at. Michigan Augusts can go dry enough to turn a lawn straw-colored, and the answer is patience and a taller blade until the rain returns. September brings the color back, October brings the leaves down, and the cleanup follows right behind. A yard that gets attention every week never really has a bad month.
