About Ramos landscaping and more

October turns the ridges above Millshoal loose all at once — maple, then hickory, then oak — and by the second week the yards down in the coves are ankle deep. Ramos landscaping and more spends that stretch pulling leaves off lawns and out of the corners where the wind stacks them, then mowing once more so the turf goes into winter short and tidy. The rest of the year runs the ordinary, satisfying loop: cut, edge, trim, clear the hard surfaces. Cold reaches this part of Macon County early, and there is a particular pleasure in the final cut of the season, grass laid flat and even under a low afternoon sun. Millshoal, Cowee, Otto and the roads down toward Franklin all sit inside the route.
