For a few weeks each March the shoulders of Highway 71 turn blue with bluebonnets clear out toward McKinney Roughs, and every lawn in the county wakes up at once. Bastrop Landscapes meets that green rush with mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanups that carry a yard from the first flush through the long heat behind it. There is real satisfaction in the moment a shaggy lawn resolves into straight passes and a boundary you can follow with your eye. The ground here gives up its water quickly, so cut height changes as the summer leans in. Come autumn the same yards get their leaves cleared and their edges redrawn for the cool months.
