Hancock County wears its red clay openly — in the drives, the road cuts, the shoulder where grass gives way to raw ground. Ingram Clearing and Landscape LLC works Sparta lawns in that soil, cutting early while dew still weighs the blades down and pine shade lies long across the yard. Mowing, edging, trimming along the fence lines, then a clean blow-down of the walk and drive: ordinary passes, made carefully. By the time July heat stands straight up over the fields, the yard is already finished and holding its line. There is a particular satisfaction in a crisp edge against red clay — the green looks greener for it.
