About Volunteer Landscaping

Fog comes off the Clinch River most spring mornings and pools in the low ground until the sun clears Haw Ridge, and mowing in that first hour is like working inside a cloud that keeps lifting. Grass on this side of town grows hard and fast once the river warms, so the season is a steady run of cutting, trimming and edging, week in and week out, with the beds kept tidy along the way. Autumn brings the leaves down to the water and everywhere else, and they get raked and carried off before they smother the turf. When winter finally sends something over the ridges, the plows open the drives and the walks get cleared and treated for ice. Tennessee ground gives you all four seasons in a year and asks for something different in each one.
