About Blade Worx

On a summer morning the cold water of Lake Taneycomo lays fog up against the hills, and Hollister sits above it while the sun works its way down Downing Street. Blade Worx runs its mowing routes out of that hour, cutting Taney County lawns on a regular turn before the Ozark heat settles into the valley. The yards here are anything but level — grass on a grade, retaining walls, edges that fall away toward the creek — so the trimmer does as much work as the mower does. Drives and walks get blown down at the end, because on a hillside property loose clippings travel. What they are after is the clean line that makes a steep lot look intentional.
