Late August in Hinesburg. Lewis Creek runs thin, the town forest goes a dusty green, and lawns stop sprinting and start coasting. JMGProperties keeps them even through that stretch — mowing on a set rotation, trimming close along stone walls and foundations, edging the drive, clearing the litter that collects under the maples. Then September arrives with rain, the grass remembers itself, and the pace picks back up straight through the fall cleanups. Different weeks want different things, and noticing which is which is most of it.
