North Marion County in high summer is a place of long light and loud insects — pine shade along the county roads, red clay showing at every ditch line, Kinchafoonee Creek moving slow and brown beneath its bridges. Trimmed Lawn Care earns its name out here, where centipede and bermuda will run right over a walkway in a week if nobody says otherwise. Mowing is only the middle of the job; the trimming around mailboxes, fence posts and porch piers is what makes a yard look finished instead of merely cut. Heat like this rewards an early start and a full water jug, and the reward is turf that holds its shape until the next visit. Buena Vista, Tazewell, Box Springs and the farms in between all sit on the route.
