Lake Bob Sandlin lies just north of town, and a good part of Pittsburg measures its weekends by whether the water is flat. Stanley's Landscape Management LLC works so those weekends need not be spent behind a mower: cutting to a schedule, edging the drive and walks, clearing clippings and windfall out of the yard before Friday. East Texas gives a long growing season and very little mercy in the middle of it — the grass takes off in March and will not quit until the nights turn. Kept to a weekly cut, a lawn here stays thick and even instead of going rank and patchy. A yard like that is worth coming home to.
