About Rustic Ridge Landscaping

The red clay around Boones Creek holds water like a jar and then bakes hard by August, which explains most of what it takes to keep grass alive northeast of Johnson City. Rustic Ridge Landscaping works these rolling hayfield hills — mowing on a schedule the fescue can live with, trimming fence lines and mailbox posts, cutting bed edges back into the clay, spreading mulch, hauling off leaves once the hillsides turn copper. When the ridges go white, the same properties get plowed, shoveled and salted, long farm drives included, because out here the road to the house is half the job. Looking back down a cleared quarter-mile of gravel with the fields glowing on either side is its own kind of payment. Summer or winter, a place ought to look tended rather than merely visited.
