August lies flat and heavy on Pleasantville, the kind of humidity that comes with living a few feet above sea level between a bay and an ocean. Great Landscaping and Painting LLC works the cooler edges of those days, mowing and trimming while the shade still reaches across the yards, saving the walk edges for last when the line shows best. Grass under that much heat wants a taller cut and a sharp blade, and it repays both. Come autumn the same yards get raked and cleared down to open ground. There is a plain pleasure in stepping back from a finished lawn on a hot afternoon and finding every border exactly where it belongs.
