About Lawn Sharks

Fog pools on the French Broad bottomland most mornings in Etowah and burns off about the time the first mower fires. Lawn Sharks keeps the valley floor between the orchard hills and the blue rise of the Pisgah ridges, where damp ground pushes grass up fast and a yard can get away from you in a week. Mowing, edging, string trimming down the fence lines and around the mailbox post, and the cleanups that follow a Henderson County October — that is the round. There is a plain pleasure in a mowing line laid straight across a sloping valley yard, and in a driveway edge cut so clean the concrete looks newly poured. When the light goes long and gold over the ridgeline, the place is squared away and quiet.
