Fog settles into the Tualco Valley on spring mornings and hangs there until the sun clears the ridge east of Monroe. By then A.B Landscape LLC has the trailer down and the first lawn started, because grass fed by Cascade rain does not wait for anyone. The work is mowing and edging and trimming, week after week, hauling off what's cut so the driveway looks swept when the truck pulls away. There is a plain kind of pride in a straight line where lawn meets concrete — you can see it from the street, and so can the neighbors. This is everyday lawn care for Monroe and the farm roads and subdivisions around it.
