Dyer Family Trade

About Dyer Family Trade

Out where the pavement gives way to gravel south of town, lawns end at fencerow and hayfield, and mowing has to make sense of that edge. Dyer Family Trade works those places around Coldwater — wide country yards, the ditch bank, the ground around the barn and the mailbox — cutting, trimming and edging until the kept part stands deliberate against the wild part. June evenings out there smell of cut hay and warm dust, and the first firefly rises out of grass that was mowed at noon. Cleanups come after the spring wind has left its mess, and again once the oaks finally let go in November. A country yard deserves the same clean line a town lot gets.
