Out past the Monroe city limits the roads run between hayfields and pecan groves toward Good Hope, Between and Walnut Grove, and every mile of it needs keeping. Lawn Management Services handles the routine that makes a property look tended: mowing on a schedule, trimming fence lines and mailbox posts, edging, and clearing away clippings and fallen leaves. Autumn arrives quietly in this county, the light going amber, the bermuda slowing, the pecan leaves starting down in earnest. Staying on top of that fall is what keeps a yard from disappearing beneath it. Come back a week later and the place still looks looked-after.
