Spring arrives in the Flint Creek bottoms before it reaches the ridges, and by the time Danville's yards wake up the whole valley is running green toward the Tennessee River. E&J Tree Care and Lawn Services meets that surge head-on with the first mowings of the season, trimming back the winter-ragged edges and cutting a fresh line along every walk and drive. Morgan County soil grows grass faster than most people can keep up with, which is the entire reason for a steady route. Yard cleanups gather what the season sheds and leave the turf open to the light. It is unglamorous work, and it is exactly what makes a place look loved.
