Bremen rides high on the ridge, and from a yard at the edge of town you can watch morning come up over the pines one field at a time. Barnett Outdoor Design, LLC works those yards the way you'd work a drawing — mowing lines that follow the slope, beds shaped to the ground instead of fought against it, mulch laid down and the edge cut clean where lawn meets planting. Spring arrives here all at once, dogwood and pollen and everything growing faster than it did the week before, and a plan is what keeps a place from running wild. By the time the truck pulls away the grass is trimmed, the walks are blown off, and the shape of the yard finally reads from the road. It is a good feeling, leaving a place looking like somebody meant it.
