About Lawn keep

Mid-July in the city park, sprinklers throw long arcs over a lawn worn soft by a hundred picnics, and every yard in Spearfish is trying to pull off the same trick on less water. Lawn keep works that stretch of the year the way it should be worked — cutting high while the heat is on, so roots stay shaded and the color holds. Mowing on a set rhythm, trimming around trees and play sets, edging the walks so the front of a house reads sharp from the curb. In spring and fall the cleanups come through and take the yard back to a blank page. Simple upkeep, kept up, which is the only way a lawn ever looks easy.
