About Crenshawmowing

Bloomfield sits in the folds of Nelson County, where Simpson Creek wanders toward the Chaplin River and the ridgelines roll off in long green waves toward Bardstown. Crenshawmowing keeps the yards along those slopes in order, mowing the pitch and the bottom ground alike, cutting clean edges against gravel drives and stone walks, and trimming close where fencerows and old shade trees crowd the grass. Summer afternoons come in heavy and bright here, and there is a real satisfaction in the last pass of the mower, in the stripe it leaves and the blown-clean sidewalk behind it. When autumn turns the maples along the US 62 stretch loose all at once, the work shifts to pulling leaves off the turf before the first frost pins them down. The reward is a plain one and it never gets old: a lawn that looks tended from the road, on a piece of Kentucky ground that has always kept itself neat.
