In April the coves above Hayesville hold their mist until mid-morning, and the gravel drives climb straight up into it. Brothers lawn care runs those hillside yards — mowing ground that tilts, trimming along stone walls and steep banks, clearing whatever winter shook loose out of the poplars. Mountain lawns come in awkward shapes, little terraces and long slopes, and getting them even takes more walking than riding. The reward shows at the end: a hillside laid down smooth, every edge clipped, the whole yard looking level even where it plainly isn't. Clay County work, one place at a time.
