Midsummer here starts in fog off the North Branch of the Raritan and ends in a heat that leaves every lawn quiet by two in the afternoon. DBs Lawn Care works the cooler ends of those days, cutting high in July so the roots keep their own shade, trimming the awkward ground along drainage swales and behind the sheds, edging back the creep of turf over concrete. July is the month that tests whoever mows a lawn — one careless week and the whole thing browns off in stripes. Their answer is rhythm: same day, same route, blades kept sharp enough to slice rather than tear. Cleanups follow in spring and fall, so the yard goes into winter clean and comes out of it clean.
