September in Maiden means Friday nights under the lights, and grass that has been cut and lined and looked after all week long. Dawson's Lawn Care and Landscaping holds yards to that same measure: mowing on schedule, trimming the fence rows and posts, edging until the boundary between lawn and pavement is one unbroken line. By late fall the leaves take over and the work becomes clearing them off before they mat the turf down. Piedmont winters here are short and gray, and by spring the fescue is up and the mowers are back out. There is real pride in a yard that never looks like it got away from anybody.
