Dew lies heavy on the Jasper County roadsides toward Shady Dale, and by seven the mist is already lifting off the pastures. Pretty Grass earns its name the ordinary way, with steady mowing, string trimming, edging and cleanup on yards in and around Monticello. Grass here answers to consistency more than anything else: same interval, sharp blades, nothing scalped on the high spots. Do that from April through October and a lawn turns thick enough to walk across barefoot. That is the whole ambition, and it is a good one.
