Arcola gives you the whole sky at once — coastal prairie so level you can watch a rain shower travel across it long before it reaches the driveway. Houston Grass keeps yards here mowed on a straight line and edged until the walk shows its own shape again. The growing months run long and humid this far down Highway 6, and the grass answers by pushing hard, so what matters is showing up on rhythm rather than working harder. When the heat finally lets go, the work shifts toward trimming back and clearing off whatever the season left behind. A yard that reads as tended from the road is the plain, public proof of it.
