July in the hollows around Hanover is hot in the bottoms and ten degrees kinder up on the ridge, and a mowing route out here climbs and drops all day long. I G Landscaping services keeps that route, working lawns between the limestone outcrops and the narrow roads that wind toward Elizabeth. The grass grows fast after a hill-country thunderstorm, and the answer is simple and unglamorous: cut it on schedule, trim what the deck cannot reach, and leave every edge as a straight line instead of a suggestion. Late in the afternoon, when the light goes gold across a freshly cut yard, the whole place looks like somebody is paying attention to it. Come autumn the leaves come down off the bluffs in a hurry, and the cleanups start again.
