August evening on East Elm, the heat finally letting go, somebody's sprinkler ticking two houses down. Logan's Lawns is out finishing the block — mowing, trimming the fence line, edging where the grass has crept over the walk, blowing the drive off before pulling away. Small yards, close streets, neighbors who notice: that is Monroe, and it keeps the work honest. Grass in this town grows hard from May through September and asks to be met on schedule, not caught up with later. Steady weeks add up to a lawn that never gets away from you.
