After a week of May rain the hills toward Byram and Cranberry Lake go a green that almost looks wet, and every lawn in Newton grows three inches while nobody is watching. Stuart landscaping keeps ahead of that — mowing before it gets away, trimming the fence lines and foundations, edging the walks back into shape. The mower is timed to the ground rather than the calendar, because turf in this valley runs fast early and slows once the heat arrives. Cleanups happen twice a year, once to clear what winter left behind and once to take the autumn leaves off. Steady attention, and the yard just quietly looks right.
