By July the tomato rows behind half the houses in Inman stand taller than the people who planted them, and the lawn around them has to keep pace. Inman Lawn and Garden mows on the short weekly cycle an upstate summer demands, when four hot days and one thunderstorm can add a full inch. String trimming tidies the garden edge, the fence line and the base of the mailbox; edging returns that crisp border along the drive. Everything is blown off the walk before the truck moves on to the next address. A kept lawn makes a vegetable patch look intentional instead of accidental.
