Late August out toward Jackson Woods, the cicadas run all afternoon and the grass slows down enough to be reasonable about it. Marvin's Lawn Care LLC keeps its rhythm anyway — mowing on the same day each week, trimming the tree rings and fence posts, edging the drive, blowing the walks clean before the truck pulls away. The inland blocks hold heat that the beachfront sheds by evening, and lawns there need a steadier hand through the dry stretch. Cut a little high, cut on time, don't scalp it, and September pays you back. It always does.
