On Friday nights the courthouse square in Mountain View fills with pickers and fiddles, and folks carry lawn chairs in under the maples. Uli's Lawn Services Plus aims to have the week's mowing, trimming and cleanup behind it by then. Stone County ground rolls hard — bluffs above the White River, hollows that hold fog until midmorning — so few lawns here are simply rectangles. The pleasure is in the shaping: a clean sweep around the shade trees, edges held true along the drive, clippings off the sidewalk before the music starts. Yards in a town this close-knit get looked at, and that keeps the bar where it belongs.
