High summer in the West Fork valley smells like cut grass and hot oak leaves, and the shade line off the ridge is the best real estate on any lawn. Johnson's Lawn Co. cuts through that heat, working the yards along the river road and the streets that climb up out of it. Fescue up here can scorch, so the deck rides high and the pattern changes week to week to keep the turf standing up. Trimming takes in the fence rows, the mailbox and the awkward slope behind the shed. What is left is a yard that looks cool even when the afternoon is not.
