West of town the ground starts climbing into the Highlands, and the wind that comes off those ridges reaches the lawns down here first, drying them out in August and stripping them bare in November. Green Hills Landscape, LLC works with that rather than against it, keeping a weekly cutting cadence and timing seeding, mulch and cleanups to what the season is actually doing instead of what the calendar says. In winter the same high ground sends the storms down, and the trucks go out to plow driveways, shovel walks and salt the shaded stretches that never quite let go. Dawn on a finished drive, the ridgeline just going pink, nothing left but to move on to the next one — that is the good part of the job.
