Tommy Joe’s Lawncare

About Tommy Joe’s Lawncare

Early April, and the fog off Cherokee Lake lies in the low fields until the sun gets over the ridge and pushes it back toward Panther Creek. That is the hour Tommy Joe’s Lawncare likes best — grass still cool, ground firm, the whole day out ahead of the mower. Weekly and biweekly cutting, string trimming along fence lines and mailbox posts, edging where turf meets concrete, and the walks blown clean so somebody passing knows the yard was tended. East Tennessee grows fescue hard through spring and asks for patience in August, so the deck comes up when the heat does and the lawn is left thick enough to shade its own roots. By evening the yards out toward Russellville hold those long green stripes, and the ridgelines go blue behind them.
