Down in Williamson County the growing season is generous and the July air is thick enough to lean on. G&F signature lawn works the early hours because of it, mowing while the dew is still down and the oak-and-hickory ridges are holding their shade. Around Lake Creek the ground rolls just enough that a lawn takes some reading — where it stays wet, where it burns off first, where the mower ought to turn. Trimming and edging finish what the deck cannot reach, and cleanups come around when the leaves fall heavy in November. A yard cut clean against the woods line has a shape to it that is worth the sweat, and Marion, Crab Orchard and Herrin are all a short run up the road.
