Where the mown ground gives out the woods begin, and half the yards in Bloomer township are a negotiation with that edge. The Backwoods Lawn and Garden mows right up to it — the open ground cut even, the tree line trimmed along, stumps and posts worked around, the beds tidied where shade plants have crept out of bounds. Mornings start cool and damp under the oaks, and the first pass of the day leaves a dark line through the dew. By evening a yard that had gone shaggy looks deliberate again, the border between lawn and woods drawn clean. In fall the leaves arrive by the thousand and get cleared off before the ground goes hard.
