Barbee’s Lawn care

About Barbee’s Lawn care

By two o'clock in July the thunderheads are already stacking over the Atlantic and sliding inland across Onslow County. Barbee's Lawn care reads that sky like a clock — mow, trim, edge, blow the clippings off the concrete, and be loading the trailer as the first fat drops hit the road. Between Camp Lejeune and Jacksonville the summer grass comes back almost as fast as it is cut, so the rotation keeps coming around. Hedges get shaped, beds get cleared, and the yard is handed back tidy before the rain makes a mess of its own. Afterward the air smells like cut grass and wet asphalt, which is about as good as a coastal afternoon gets.
