About Mr Hammer

January in Hidalgo County comes in blue and mild, mesquite and ebony still holding their leaves while most of the country is frozen shut. Mr Hammer keeps mowing right through it around Palmhurst, because the grass slows down here but it never actually quits, so neither does the schedule. Cut, edge along the sidewalk and the caliche drive, trim the fence line, blow the clippings off the concrete, move on to the next one. Yards in this stretch bake from May onward, so the winter rounds are the easy, pleasant ones, worked in shirtsleeves under a sky with nothing in it. Year-round tending is what keeps a Valley lawn even instead of patchy.
