Mount Yonah holds the southern sky here, a gray granite face above the treeline that you can see from half the yards in White County. American Cut Landscaping, LLC spends summer Saturdays underneath it, mowing, edging and shaping the ground around houses scattered along the foothill roads. The pride is in the line — stripes laid true across a lawn, beds carved with a clean lip, no ragged fringe left along a fence or a mailbox post. Landscape work rounds it out: shrubs shaped, borders cut in, whatever the yard has shed carried off. It's a plain kind of satisfaction, standing out at the road and seeing the whole place read as finished.
