A Cut Above

About A Cut Above

Mount Konocti keeps watch over Kelseyville from every angle, and on a spring morning its slopes go green while the town below hums with mowers. A Cut Above runs one of them. This is lawn care in a town that still moves at orchard speed — grass cut and edged before lunch, clippings gone, walkways blown clear. They work the streets around downtown, where lawns green up fast in the Lake County spring and want a steady weekly hand. The pleasure is simple and complete: stripes in the grass, the mountain in the distance, a yard that looks finished from the porch.
