A July thunderstorm can drop an inch on Forked River and be gone in twenty minutes, and by evening the sand has swallowed nearly all of it. That is the puzzle of lawn care out here, and JWM Landscaping works it every week — cutting a little higher once the heat sets in, keeping blades sharp so the tips don't brown, staying off ground that hasn't firmed up. Mowing, edging, string trimming, bed mulch and hedge work make up the round, with the big cleanups at either end of the year. It is hot, repetitive work, and there is nothing like standing at the curb afterward with the cut running straight down the yard. Pine-country soil doesn't hand you a green lawn; you have to go get it.
