August in Johnston County ends with heat lightning somewhere off past the pines and the smell of cut grass hanging in air too thick to move it. Greensmith Landscaping LLC keeps yards in Wilders and the crossroads around it on a steady turn — mowing, trimming close around mailbox posts and porch piers, edging the drive so the line reads sharp from the road. Bermuda and centipede want cutting often through that wet green stretch of summer, and the answer is simply to show up and cut it. When the mower shuts off and the dust settles, a yard looks broader than it did an hour before. That widening is the whole point.
