Some yards get looked at more than others — the ones with a bench under a shade tree and a walkway somebody uses every day. Maple Lawn Nursing and Rehabilitation keeps grounds like that in Hydro cut on a set schedule, mowed even, trimmed close around posts and borders, and edged so no path ever narrows under creeping grass. Spring on this part of the Caddo County plain arrives with sudden warmth and hard rain, and the mowing has to keep up with it week by week. Feeding and weed control run alongside, holding the turf thick and one color from the drive out to the fence. Clippings come off every walk before the work is called finished, because a smooth path underfoot is part of the job.
