Late August in Marion arrives heavy and still, dust on the roadside and the low creek bottoms east of the village gone deep green. Stone's lawn and Landscape works straight through it — mowing, trimming, edging, clearing beds and hauling off whatever the season drops. Damp ground grows differently than the dry ridge tops, and a lawn will tell you which one it is sitting on. Reading that, then cutting to suit it, is what keeps a yard even from the first mow to the last. Then the leaves come, and there is a whole other pass to make.
