Summer storms build fast over Kettle Creek country, and by evening the yards around Washington are wet, thick and growing. Double D Maintenance, Inc. handles the lawn work that follows, with regular mowing, edging along drives and walks, trimming around trees and posts, and clearing the place of clippings before the truck pulls out. Wilkes County lots run generous, with room between houses and grass that takes the heat seriously. The reward is a wide lawn cut in even lines that holds its shape until the next visit comes around. Most folks here would rather spend a July Saturday somewhere other than behind a mower.
