Down in the flat black-loam country near the Ohio line, July settles heavy over Jasper and the corn stands taller than a mailbox by the Fourth. Clark Lawn Care works through that heat, mowing early, trimming close along fencerows and foundations, and clearing the drive so nothing tracks inside. Ground this rich grows grass with real vigor, which sounds like a gift until a wet week turns a yard into a meadow — so the schedule holds. Along the River Raisin bottoms the trees drop for weeks in autumn, and the cleanup runs right alongside them. A cut lawn out here reads as order, and that is the whole point of it.
