Xpressive Pinestraw

About Xpressive Pinestraw

August in Pearl comes in thick and green, the river running slow behind the levee and the loblollies along the Rankin County roads letting their needles down in copper drifts. Xpressive Pinestraw works those hours — mowing across the flat ground east of the water, edging walks until the line between grass and concrete is one clean seam, then blowing the drive clear so a yard reads finished from the curb instead of merely cut. Pine straw is in the name for good reason: raked, hauled and laid bed by bed, it turns bare ground rust-red and keeps the soil where it belongs when the storms track up from the Gulf. String trimming around fences, mailboxes and foundation shrubs gets the same care as the open turf, because a lawn is read first at its edges. From Pearl out through Flowood, Brandon and Richland, and across the bridge into Jackson, the work is measured in how a place looks at sundown when the mowing lines are still bright in the grass.
