Thursday comes around and so does the trailer, up through Cassville and back into Cartersville, the same yards in the same order the way a route ought to run. Dave's Dependable Lawn Care builds a week out of mowing, edging, string trimming and blow-down, with hedge work and leaf clearing folded in as the calendar asks for them. Grass here does not negotiate: one warm rain in May and it is ankle deep by the weekend, so the value is in never falling behind it. There is a plain pleasure in pulling away from a house and seeing the lines run true down the slope of the front yard. Same day, same care, week after week.
