Brinkley sits where the Delta runs flat to the horizon, rice and soybean ground on every side and a sky big enough to watch a storm build a full hour before it arrives. M5 Lawn Services works under that sky: mowing on a seven-day turn, trimming close to the foundation, edging the walk, blowing the drive clean before the truck pulls away. Delta summers are hot and wet, and the grass answers accordingly — a week is a long time out here. In fall the bottomland hardwoods over toward the Cache River color up and start dropping, and the work shifts to leaves and cleanup. Either season, the aim holds: a yard that looks square and cared for all the way from the highway.
