Cartrette's Tree Service and Yard Work

About Cartrette's Tree Service and Yard Work

Old live oaks shade half of Florence's older streets, and what falls from them lands on the grass below — acorns in autumn, twigs after every squall, a slow rain of leaves that never quite stops. Cartrette's Tree Service and Yard Work mows, edges and trims those shaded lawns and clears the litter off them, which is most of what a yard under big trees really asks for. Grass grows thinner in dappled light, so the cut is kept high and the ground kept clear. By November, when the oaks and the pecans let go in earnest, the raking and blowing become the main event. A lawn that reads as kept-up under trees takes more passes than an open one, and it is worth each of them.
