Out past the edge of town the lots open up, an acre or two of grass, a fence line, then field and pine. Hays Brothers Lawn Care is built for that scale, two mowers working from opposite ends of a yard and meeting in the middle by the time the June sun stands high. Mowing, trimming, edging and clearing the cut are the core of the work, on properties in town and along the county roads out toward Patterson and Bristol. Wide open ground shows its stripes and its misses alike, so the last pass matters as much as the first. What they want left behind is a place that looks easy to live on.
