Out on the Columbus County flat the horizon is a line of longleaf pine and the sky does most of the talking. Cutting Edge Yard Pros keeps the yards around Cerro Gordo mowed, trimmed and edged through a growing season that starts early and quits late — centipede and bermuda pushing hard from March on, beds mulched, weeds kept out, cleanups when the season turns. Fog lies in the field rows at daybreak and burns off by eight, and the first cut of the morning goes down on wet grass with the smell of it rising. A yard finished to a clean line against sandy soil looks like somebody meant it. That is the payoff, one drive at a time.
