About Moore Lawn Care

Fog comes off the Neosho early in Burlington, settles low over the bottoms, and burns away about the time the courthouse square starts to fill. Moore Lawn Care is out ahead of it — dew still heavy, the first pass laid down straight, the mower leaving a stripe you can see from the porch. Coffey County grass takes its cue from the river and from John Redmond up the road: fast and green through a rainy June, slower and tougher once the heat sets in, and then all at once it is leaf season. Trimming around foundations, edging the walk back to a clean line, hauling the fall off the yard before the first hard freeze — that is the rhythm of the work here. A tidy lawn on a Burlington side street is a small, plain kind of pride, and it is worth doing right.
