Fog settles into the creek bottoms east of Harlem before sunrise and burns off by eight, and the grass down there stays wet long after the ridge has dried. Willow Creek Outdoor Management plans the day around that — high ground first, low ground once the dew lifts, then mowing, edging and trimming on through the heat. Managing outdoor space in this county means paying attention to where water goes as much as to the height of the cut. Beds get mulched, borders get held to a line, debris gets carried off instead of tucked behind the shed. By evening the whole property reads as one thought rather than a dozen separate chores.
