Rain slides off Beech Mountain fast, and the yards below it are stacked in terraces — switchback drives, banks you learn to walk sideways on, rock walls holding one level above the next. Parlier Boys Mowing and Landscaping, LLC mows that steep ground around Elk Park, trims banks and wall edges where nothing wider will fit, keeps beds weeded and mulched, prunes shrubs back off the walks, and hauls the clippings and leaves away rather than leaving them to wash downhill. Rhododendron closes in on everything up here if you give it a season. Cutting a tidy shape back out of all that green — grass even from the drive to the treeline — is the part worth showing up for.
