Etna wakes slowly. Mist sits in the low ground along the stream, the woods edge still dark while the mowed ground has already gone silver with dew. Black Bear Tree Care tends lawns in that in-between country where yards give way to timber, handling mowing, string trimming, edging, leaf clearing and seasonal yard cleanups. Grass grows differently at the tree line — thick in the sun, thin under the canopy — and reading that is half the work. By late August the crickets own the evenings and the clippings come off dry. What is left behind is a deliberate line between kept ground and wild.
