There is an hour in Carmel Hamlet, mid-morning, when the dew has burned off the grass but the air is still cool off the water — the finest hour there is for cutting a lawn. Grass Genie Inc chases that hour: mowing, string trimming, edging, and the cleanups that open the spring and close the fall. Cut at the right height and in the right direction, a Putnam County lawn holds its stripes across a slope like corduroy. The trimming afterward is what makes the whole thing look intentional, every post and stone circled clean. Anyone can shorten grass; the pleasure lies in making a yard look composed.
