Some Franklin yards sit under oaks tall enough to keep the ground in shade all afternoon, and grass beneath that canopy needs a different hand. Pine Barrens Landscaping mows around the roots and the low limbs, trims what the deck cannot reach, edges the walks clean, and overseeds the thin patches where the shade wins. North-slope lawns in the Highlands dry slowly and hold moss, so the cleanups matter as much as the cutting — leaves off in fall, debris out in spring, light let back down to the soil. It is patient work, and it shows up later as a green that carries through the hot weeks. Dappled light, a fresh cut, a crisp edge: that is a good yard up here.
