Today’s puzzle is all about every homeowner’s favorite chore, MOWING THE LAWN (59A: [Field work that’s illustrated in this puzzle]). When I first saw this phrase, I thought it generally referred to higher-ups in the Navy like it does for ARMY BRASS. While I’m sure people do use it that way, most of the searches that turned up for me suggested it was about the alloy. To round out the theme, we have GROUNDS CREW at the top (24A: [Field work team]). That way it would more clearly illustrate the concept of a lawn mower blade cutting a piece of grass.
