The first mow of the year in Iuka comes while the timber edges are still bare and the grass has just gotten ahead of everyone. Leach's Lawn & Landscape LLC starts there and stays at it through a long Marion County season, cutting on schedule, trimming close around posts, trunks and foundations, and edging walks and drives to a true line. Summer here is generous to grass and hard on anyone chasing it, so the schedule is the whole discipline. By late fall the work turns to leaves, gathered up and carried off while the ground is still workable. A small village looks its best when the yards along it run even, and that is what a season of mowing is for.
