Late August in the Galena River country: everything stands at full height, the beds have crept out past their borders, and the lawn has thickened up again after the rains. Millman Lawn & Landscaping cuts it all back to line — mowing on a tight pattern, trimming the fence rows, re-cutting the edge where turf has been quietly swallowing a bed all summer. Around Dunleith the soil lies thin over rock and the old yards were laid out by people who worked with the slope instead of arguing with it, so a lawn here looks right when those shapes are honored. Finish a place like that and the whole lot seems to exhale. A crisp edge along a walk is a small thing, and it is the first thing anybody notices.
