By October the mornings around Mount Zion turn cool early, and the hardwoods along the county roads begin dropping in earnest. Johnson services keeps up with it, clearing leaves before the piles mat down and smother the grass underneath. Through the growing months the work is mowing on a steady cycle, with the deck set higher or lower as the season asks for it. Trimming and edging tighten the borders where a yard meets gravel, bed or fence. The reward is a property that stays open and well tended right through to the last cutting of the year.
