Come dusk in August the cicadas take over the timber around Spring Creek East and the heat finally lets go of the yards. Ansel's Landscaping works right up to that hour in high summer, finishing mowing and trimming while the light is still long enough to see an edge properly. Beds get weeded and kept honest through the growing months, shrubs get trimmed back before they swallow a walkway, and the turf is cut at a height that helps it hold through the dry weeks. In autumn the leaves arrive all at once here, and clearing them off is its own kind of satisfaction. The reward is simple: a yard that looks composed when the porch light comes on.
