Late in the year the oaks along the ridge turn loose, and the wind carries their leaves down into every yard on the mountain. Jhonny's Lawn and Landscape Services LLC takes on that stretch of the season — the last cuts, the trimming and edging, and the leaf clearing that moves a lawn from buried to bare and tidy. Cold mornings make for slow starts and good work, and the light stays soft the whole way through. A cleared, blown-out yard under gray branches has a finished look worth standing back to see. Around Pine Mountain, that is how the year gets closed out.
