By late April the mesquites finally leaf out, and the old West Texas saying is that they know when the last freeze has gone; the whole town looks softer for it. Jo Jo's Bee Lawn & Tree Service works both halves of that picture, keeping grass cut, lined and trimmed on a rotation while thinning and pruning what stands overhead. Limb removal and brush hauling come with the territory, especially after a spring gust front leaves a yard littered. A tidy lawn under a properly trimmed tree is about as good as a Midland afternoon gets. The work runs through Midland and the small towns and county roads around it.
