In June the roadside grass in Alabama comes up past the fence wire and moves in the wind like water. Grasshopper Lawn & Landscaping spends that month catching up with it — cutting lawns back into shape, trimming down fence lines and ditch banks, edging where the drive has let the sod creep over. Between the Tonawanda flats and the woodlots there is little to break the wind, so yards here dry fast and cut clean once the dew lifts. Spring and fall cleanups open and close the season, raking off whatever the weather has left behind. A field will do what it wants; a lawn is a decision, and this is the crew that keeps making it.
