First light in Menlo comes over Taylor Ridge and runs west across the valley floor until it strikes the long wall of Lookout Mountain. ABC Yard and Lawn Care is usually already moving by then, tailgate down, dew still heavy on the Chattooga Valley grass. Mowing, trimming and edging make up the day, one yard at a time, with the mountain air keeping the mornings cool well into summer. Walks are edged, tree rings trimmed, and the drive blown clean before anything else gets loaded. Up here the light changes fast, and a lawn cut early holds its shape all day long.
