Suwannee River Mow Company

About Suwannee River Mow Company

Rain arrives in Fanning Springs the way it always has in July: a purple sky over the river at two o'clock, twenty loud minutes, then steam lifting off the asphalt. Suwannee River Mow Company plans around it — mowing, edging, weed trimming around oaks and mailboxes, and clearing the limbs and moss the wind shakes loose. Under the live oaks near the highway that crosses the river, the St. Augustine grows thick and shaded; out in the open sand the bahia runs wild, and the two want different heights. Knowing that difference is most of the job. When the cooler months come the pace eases into leaf clearing and bed tidying, and the yards above the Suwannee settle into their winter green.
