About Collins Landscaping Co.

Dunn summers build their weather in the afternoon: heat stacks up over the pines, the sky toward Fayetteville goes the color of pewter, and an hour later the streets are steaming again. Collins Landscaping Co. reads that clock, cutting ahead of the storm line and coming back once the ground firms up so the tires leave no scar. The work is mowing, string trimming, bed edging and mulch, with hedges shaped so a house sits square inside its yard. After the rain the grass runs hard and the schedule tightens; nothing about a Harnett County July is slow. What lasts is the look of a property on Sunday evening — striped, level, borders clean and the beds dark.
