Late August evenings around Howell come in gold, the hay already off the fields and the light lying flat across every yard. Cherrys Custom Cuts mows into that hour — grass cut on a schedule the lawn can actually keep, edges trimmed sharp, clippings blown off the walk before the truck pulls away. Out toward Cohoctah the properties get big and the mowing gets honest; closer in they get tight and the trimming carries the day. Either way the measure is the same: how the place looks from the mailbox when you come home. Howell yards get that attention from the first cut of spring to the last one before frost.
