Mist hangs off the Manchester islands until the sun clears the Kentucky bank, and the river runs wide and unhurried past town all morning. Chomper's Lawn Maintenance mows the yards along the water and up the streets that climb away from it, cutting on rotation, trimming around hydrants and the steps down to the street, edging the concrete so the curve of a walk shows again. River air makes for thick grass in June — it grows overnight and it grows fast, and the schedule keeps pace with it. Cleanups clear the turf and the beds when the season turns over. There is nothing complicated about a well-cut lawn; you know it the moment you see it from the road.
