North of the last big intersections, Oklahoma City still remembers being wheat ground — section-line roads running arrow-straight, new streets laid over old furrows, sky doing whatever it likes. Brassfield Landscaping LLC keeps yards up out there, where a lot can back onto a fencerow and the grass has to stand up to full afternoon sun with nothing to hide behind. Late August is the real test: Bermuda gone tough and thirsty, the light long and gold by seven, and a mowing line that has to look right across a wide open lawn. Mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup, done on a rhythm, is what keeps a young neighborhood from looking raw. Come evening the yard holds its shape, and the sky gets to do the rest.
