Late June in the Salacoa Creek country: hay cut and rolled in the bottoms, cattle standing in the shade, and every yard along the road putting on growth after a week of thunderstorms. Terry's lawn care works those Ranger properties on a regular turn — mowing, edging the concrete, string trimming around posts, mailboxes and equipment sheds, and a clean sweep of the drive when the cutting is done. Foothill lots come with slope, gravel and tree lines, and none of that is an excuse for a rough finish. Once autumn arrives the visits shift toward clearing leaves off the turf and out of the beds. A cut yard between the ridges reads like a made bed.
