The courthouse dome on the Square has watched a lot of springs arrive, and each one starts the same way: azaleas letting go, mulch going down dark, lawns coming back green from the edges in. Covington Landscaping takes the town's name and the town's habit — beds cut with a clean shoulder, mulch spread even, shrubs pruned to shape, lawns mowed and edged on a set turn. Around the historic streets the properties expect a certain formality; farther out they want room to breathe, and both get the same attention. A finished yard here should look like it belongs to the block, not only to the house. That is the pleasure of the work — a place looking like itself, only better kept.
