Late August in Vista Center is goldenrod along the roadsides and grass gone tired from the heat, and it happens to be exactly when next year starts. Vidal Torres Landscaping LLC works that stretch — mowing straight on through, then cleanups and seeding once the nights cool and the sandy ground finally holds a little moisture again. Turf in the pines has to be rebuilt as much as maintained, and September is the window that actually pays. Edges get cut back, thin ground gets thickened, and the lawn goes into the cold with something in reserve. Come spring the difference speaks for itself without anyone having to point at it.
