Summer thunderstorms build west over Philadelphia and reach Somerdale about twenty minutes later, which teaches a person to get the mowing done in the morning. Zac's Landscaping keeps the borough's front lawns and back yards cut, trimmed and edged on that schedule, ahead of the heat and ahead of the rain. Autumn turns the work toward cleanups — beds emptied, leaves pulled off the grass before they mat down and take the color with them. Then winter, when the same properties get plowed and salted, driveways opened wide and walkways cut through to the door. Around here the year keeps handing you different work, and every version of it ends with a yard somebody is glad to look at.
