Evening in Hollis brings the heat down a notch and lays long shade across the streets near the courthouse, and that is a good hour to see what a week's growth has done. J&J Services keeps southwest Oklahoma yards on a steady cut — mowing at the height the season calls for, trimming close along walls and fence lines, and edging so a walk shows its full width again. Summer here is a marathon of sun and hot south wind, so feeding the turf and treating weeds is less about appearance than about keeping the grass alive and knit together. When cooler weather finally comes and the leaves start dropping, they get cleared off the lawn and out of the beds before they mat down. Grass mowed straight, a swept drive, everything squared away before dark — small things, and a whole street looks better for them.
