Some ground in Bay County doesn't want to be a lawn — ditch banks, back lots, the rough half-acre behind the garage that got away over one wet spring. Billy Goat Lawn Care, LLC takes those on along with the ordinary ones: mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups through the warm months, plowing and salting once the cold locks in. Heavy valley clay grows grass thick and fast after rain, and knocking a tall stand back down to open field has a satisfaction all its own. Come winter the same properties need lanes opened and walks cleared, often before light. The ground changes; the habit of finishing doesn't.
