North of town the fields open all the way to the horizon and the wind never has to ask permission. North Cut llc mows that country along with the streets in Mount Pleasant proper — weekly cutting, trimming around posts and foundations, edging, and the spring and fall cleanups. Exposed lawns dry out quickly in a July wind, so cutting height matters more up there than most people expect. Leave the blades a touch long and the grass shades its own roots and comes through the heat still holding green. The best view of a day's work is from the road at the end of it: one straight run of even lawn set against a mile of open field.
