The first true green in Hobart shows up on the lawns around the courthouse square while the fields west of town are still bare, and once it starts the season is on. Hobart Farm & Garden Center Inc keeps Kiowa County yards on schedule from that first cut forward — mowing, trimming, edging, and feeding the turf so it thickens ahead of the summer that is certainly coming. Southwest Oklahoma asks a lot of a lawn: hot wind, hard sun, and rain that arrives all at once or not for weeks. Weed control keeps the bermuda from having to share, and a blower finishes each visit so the walks look as good as the grass. Brick streets, big sky, and a yard mowed straight — Hobart wears it well.
