October finally cools Lanier County to something workable, and the yards around Stockton slow their growth. Box R Yard Management takes the whole property, not just the front: mowing out to the fence, trimming around gates and posts, edging the drive, clearing the leaves off the walks before they mat down. Where a yard runs up against a pasture somebody has to decide where the mowing stops, and that decision shows from a hundred feet away. Fall is when the result reads best — the grass low and even, the drive line clean, the pecan litter gone. It is the sort of upkeep people notice without knowing why.
