Fog settles low over the bottoms east of Redfield most mornings in the warm months and burns off about the time the first mower starts. Ian's Maintenance Inc. works the yards on both sides of Highway 65, between the pine timber and the river flats — mowing, trimming, edging walks and drives, and clearing the cuttings so a place looks finished rather than merely cut. Jefferson County summers are long and generous to grass; a week of rain and warm nights can put a lawn a foot ahead of you. The answer is a steady rotation and no skipped weeks. There is real satisfaction in pulling away from a yard that is square, level and quiet.
