Cove Creek keeps its own weather up in Watauga County, frost lingering in the hollows into May and fog sitting on the hayfields until the sun clears the ridge. Wren's Nest Landscaping, Inc. mows through that short bright growing season, when high-country grass comes on fast and thick. Yards here perch on benches above the creek or stretch flat along the valley floor, and both want a clean line where the mowing stops and the pasture starts. Trimming along stone, fence and foundation is what makes a mountain yard look kept rather than merely cut. By September the light turns amber early, and a finished lawn holds it like a held breath.
