At six on an August morning the dew still sits heavy on Norwood lawns and the valley has not gone hot yet. Metro Landscape Irrigation starts the rounds there — mowing, trimming, edging and clearing the walks before the day gets loud. August is the month a lawn tells the truth about how it has been kept, and the ones cut consistently hold their color the longest. Cleanups bookend the calendar: leaves off in November, winter litter out in March. Simple care, repeated on time, is what makes a property look effortless from the curb.
