March mornings in the Deep Fork bottoms arrive under fog, and somewhere beneath it the grass has quietly decided to start over. R&R Premier Lawn Services takes the first cut of the year in that window, knocking the dormant thatch down, opening the crowns to what sun there is, bringing back the lines winter blurred. From there the season builds: mowing on a weekly beat, trimming, blowing off, beds kept clear as the growth accelerates through May. Yards in northwest Lincoln County run big and a little rough at the margins, and they pay back a schedule that is actually kept. By June the lawn has forgotten it was ever brown.
