Morning comes slowly to the Coast Fork of the Willamette, and the yards that lean toward the water hold their dew until the sun clears the ridge. Carvalho Landscaping works those hours, mowing and edging while the grass is still cool and cuts clean. There is a particular satisfaction in a lawn that ends exactly where the walk begins, the line true enough to sight down. Cottage Grove asks for that kind of attention — a town of river bends and small green blocks where a tended yard gets noticed. Trimming, clearing the drive and hauling away the season's growth are all part of leaving a place in better order than the truck found it.
