Early July in Jackson means flags along the porches, the fairgrounds getting itself ready, and grass growing faster than anyone can keep up with. Stars N Stripes Mowing keeps up: mowing on a steady week, trimming the fencelines, edging the walks, blowing every path clean before pulling out. Fall shifts those same trucks to leaves, and winter shifts them to plows, opening drives and clearing walks while the streetlights are still burning. Salt goes where snow likes to glaze over, at the foot of a sloped drive and across the front steps. Bright lawns in summer, black pavement in January, the same properties either way.
