Late August in Rives, and the properties get big: an acre of mown lawn, then a fenceline, then pasture running off to a woodlot. Taulbee Land Services, LLC handles the mown part and the ragged margins both — regular cutting, trimming along fence and outbuilding, drives edged, and the yard cleared when the season turns over. On places like these the mowed line is the only thing separating yard from field, and keeping it honest all summer is the craft of it. Corners take longer to do properly, and corners are precisely what people notice. Rives and the farm country stretching toward Rives Junction and Jackson.
