Late August here is heavy air and long shadows, and the lawns still holding their color are the ones somebody has been minding. Jerseygreengrasskings mows on a schedule the heat cannot push around, trims where no mower reaches, and keeps the edges crisp along drives and front walks. Monroe's soil runs light and sandy in places, so grass drinks fast and shows neglect faster. Cutting at the right height, clearing what the cut leaves behind, coming back before it gets away from you — that is the craft of it. The payoff is a yard that looks cool at six in the evening, when the whole street is out walking.
