North Arlington can go a long August stretch without rain, and the lawns show it first along the curb strips where the sun sits all afternoon with nothing to break it. The Sprinkler Kings Irrigation & Lighting keeps those lawns cut and tended straight through it — mowing at a height that suits the heat, edging the walks, trimming close where grass meets post and fence. A lawn mowed thoughtfully in a dry spell holds its color longer, and that is worth the extra care. Beds are cleared, borders kept sharp, and the cut grass lifted off so nothing mats down in the warmth. When the season turns, the leaves come off and the lawn goes into the cold in good shape.
