Mow time

About Mow time

Seven in the morning, before the I-45 traffic thickens and before the heat index starts its climb, is the best hour to cut grass in Conroe, and it lasts about three of them. Mow time is out in it — mowing, edging, string trimming along fences and beds, hard surfaces blown clean, one yard after another while the dew is still burning off. Summer here does not negotiate, so the day starts early and the schedule holds. Beds get cleared, shrubs get trimmed, and the lines stay straight because the sun is still low enough to read them by. By the time the afternoon storms stack up over the pines, the route is already finished.
