North of town the road tips up through hayfields and fencerows toward Cottontown, and September light lies flat and warm across all of it. Claytons Lawn & Landscape keeps yards along that stretch cut on a set schedule — mowing, trimming around posts and outbuildings, edging where gravel gives way to grass. Country lots ask for more ground covered and more patience with the rough corners than a small in-town yard does. The measure of a good day is a property that looks orderly from the road, top to bottom. Seasonal cleanups round the year out when the growing finally slows.
