Pike County lays itself out in low rolling ground, red clay under pine and hardwood, with pasture fences following the rise and fall. Moser Landscaping Inc. works Meansville and the roads out toward Elkins Creek, where spring shows up early and everything needs cutting at once. The season opens with cleanups and mulch, then settles into the weekly cadence of mow, trim, edge. Beds get their lines redrawn against the clay so the shrubs sit in something shaped rather than something spreading. By May the yards look composed, and the green off the piedmont hills does the rest.
