Taylor sits on heavy clay, and by the third dry week of July you can read that soil right off the lawns — pale patches over the hard spots, deep green where the water still lingers. GrassPro Solutions cuts with that in mind, raising the deck when the heat sets in and leaving the blade height tall enough to shade the roots. Mowing, trimming and edging are the tools; the aim is turf that comes through August still standing. When the rains return in September the difference between a lawn that was cut thoughtfully and one that was just cut is impossible to miss. It's a small science, practiced one yard at a time.
