Mid-July in Monroe township: heat sitting low in the fields, cicadas going all afternoon, a dog watching the truck from the shade of a porch. Lucky Dog Lawn Care LLC works right through it — mowing, trimming, edging along the drive, and cleaning out the yard when the seasons swap over. Out here a lawn can be a tidy square by the road or an acre that fades off into pasture, and both get cut properly. The best part of a hot day is the last pass, when the stripes line up and the smell of fresh grass carries clear across the yard.
