After a night of rain the ditches around Gray run full and the grass stands thick enough to load a mower deck. Frye Lawn Care gets on it as soon as the ground will carry a machine, cutting slower passes, breaking up the clumps so nothing mats down, then trimming the fence line and clearing the concrete. A wet stretch is the real test of a mowing schedule, and holding to it is most of the job. A yard brought back level after a storm week looks as though nothing ever happened to it at all. That work carries across Gray and the countryside nearby.
