North of Batesville the ground stands up into the Ozarks, and the yards go with it — sycamores along the creeks, chert in the soil, shade that travels all afternoon. Ozark Outdoor Maintenance keeps places like that in order the year around: cutting on a set rotation, edging walks and drives, trimming around outbuildings and fence posts, hedges shaped, leaves cleared once the hardwoods turn loose in November. Upkeep in hill country is a string of small regular decisions rather than one big push. Made steadily, they add up to a property that always looks like somebody is minding it. That is the standard the work gets held to.
