Bay View mornings in July arrive with the water flashing between the houses and the grass dry enough to cut by eight. Homer Property Maintenance takes its weekly rounds from there — mowing at an even height, trimming along fences and bed lines, edging the drive back to where it belongs, mulch laid where the sun is hardest on the roots. Spring cleanup clears out whatever winter left behind; fall cleanup keeps leaves from smothering the turf under them. A tended lawn this close to the lake is a small and steady kind of order, and it is worth keeping.
