A July storm comes over the ridges in the afternoon, soaks the red clay through, and by the next morning every yard in Trion has put on an inch. Francisco's Landscaping meets that push head-on — cutting the grass back to an even height, running the trimmer along fence lines and foundations, edging the walks, then clearing the cuttings so nothing mats down in the heat. There is real pleasure in the before and after of a rank summer lawn: shaggy at nine, tidy and breathing by noon. Beds get their borders back, shrubs get shaped, and the whole property settles into order again. Valley summers are long, and the work simply keeps pace with them.
