Late July, and the gravel roads out of Lanark carry a chalk of dust over the ditch grass while the corn goes well past shoulder height. Countryside Landscaping mows through that heat on a set week, keeping edges tight along drives and fence lines and hauling the clippings off instead of leaving them lying in windrows. Country yards run big and open, and a straight line across one shows from the road a long way off — so the lines get cut straight. Rock Creek ground bakes hard in August and greens again with the first cool rain, and the schedule bends to whichever it is doing. Mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanup for Lanark, Shannon, Milledgeville and Chadwick.
