By noon in July the hay fields around Fentress shimmer and the cicadas take it up in shifts. GreenWorx works straight through the middle of that — mowing on a schedule the heat cannot push around, raising the deck when the fescue starts to stress, trimming and edging so the yard keeps its shape while the weather does its worst. Red clay bakes hard and cracks open, so mulch goes down thick in the beds to hold whatever water there is. Late summer out here is about keeping ground alive, not merely short. Come September the lawns that were tended through the heat are the ones that come back green.
