K-7 Lawn Maintenance

About K-7 Lawn Maintenance

Some of this work is arithmetic. Deck width, overlap, which corner of the yard to start from so the last pass throws its clippings away from the porch instead of onto it — K-7 Lawn Maintenance thinks that through before the first stripe goes down on a Byrd lawn. The rolling southeast Missouri ground makes it harder and more interesting: lines have to stay true across a rise, around the mailbox post, past the propane tank, back to the drive. Mowing, trimming and edging are the whole of it, done the same careful way every visit so the grass learns the pattern and lays over clean. Stand at the road when it's finished and the yard reads in bands, straight as plowed rows, with the edge along the concrete cut like it was drawn with a rule.
