Rain in the Ozarks does not soak in gently, it runs. An hour after a downpour the limestone under Benton County has taken what it wants and sent the rest downhill, leaving Powell yards soft in the low places and steaming where the sun hits. Garden of Eden Landscaping and Drainage works around that, waiting out the wet so wheels never scar a lawn, then cutting once the ground has firmed. Grass that leapt after the storm comes back to an unhurried, even height, with bed lines redrawn and the concrete blown off. Days later the yard still shows the care, which is the only measure that really counts.
