June in Jackson County smells like cut hay for about three weeks, and the whole of Commerce seems to be mowing something. Little Ts Lawn Care LLC is out in it early, running yards while the dew burns off and the interstate is still just a hum a few fields over. Mowing, trimming, edging, blowing the drive clean — done in that order, done the same way every visit, so a customer knows what the yard will look like when they get home. Piedmont grass takes off hard after a warm rain and forgives nobody who skips a week, so the schedule is the real craft. Come evening the lawns along these roads stand cut and even, and the fields beyond them do too.
