Stand on the line in McCaysville and one boot is in Tennessee — three states meet within a short drive up here, and the mountains pay the border no mind at all. Tri-State Landscapes ranges across that corner out of Blue Ridge, mowing, trimming, edging, and keeping beds and shrubs in shape through the long green stretch from April to October. Distance is part of the job in this country, and so is knowing which road washes out after a hard rain. A yard finished at the end of a long drive is worth every mile of it. Blue Ridge, McCaysville, Epworth and the nearby communities on either side of the state lines fill out the map.
