The first front of October comes down Bissonnet like somebody opened a door at the far end of a hot room. TOL The One Landscaping works Alief and Westchase and the wide apartment-lined stretches around them, where the growing never fully stops and a yard left alone for three weeks in September will need a machete's worth of attention. Mowing and edging keep the routine; hedge trimming and bed cleanup are what reset a place when it has drifted. Mulch goes down dark, shrubs come back to their intended shape, and the front of a house stops apologizing for itself. Cutting grass in this part of town is a year-round conversation, and the best answer is simply showing up on schedule.
