Midsummer along Cow Bayou is a standing argument between the rain and the mower, and the rain usually swings first. Champion Lawn Care & Property Services works the yards of Orange and Orangefield in that weather, cutting on the dry mornings and coming back for the growth a thunderstorm week leaves behind. The list stays grounded: mowing, edging, trimming around trees and fence posts, hedge work, bed weeding and hauling off the clippings. Property upkeep out here also means keeping the overgrown corners of a lot from turning back into bottomland. By August, when everything wants to sprawl, a kept yard reads like a small act of order.
