By March the Ozarks around Harrison have finished with ice and wind and left the evidence all over the yards — matted grass, small limbs, gravel thrown up off the road. Elite Property Service and Lawn Care starts the year clearing that away, then holds a mowing rhythm from green-up until the grass finally quits in the fall. Trimming takes what the mower cannot reach, along fences, foundations and the steep bit by the mailbox, and edging gives a walk a line you can read from the street. Lots here often step down in terraces toward a creek or a road cut, and every level gets finished rather than skimmed. Spring in Boone County comes on fast; a yard already cleared for it comes out ahead.
