Wind crosses Clay County with nothing to slow it, and it dries a lawn faster than any calendar says it should. A & J Lawn Service LLC mows and maintains yards in Henrietta and the country around it, cutting high through the hot stretch so the roots keep a little shade of their own. Edging along drives and walks, trimming out fencelines and mesquite corners, and clearing the cuttings round out the work. When the Little Wichita greens up in spring the growth comes on fast and the schedule tightens behind it. There is quiet pride in a mown yard holding its own against all that red dirt and open sky.
