A Cut Above Tree and Lawn

About A Cut Above Tree and Lawn

Ripley arranges itself around the Lauderdale County courthouse, and on a late-summer evening the shadow of that building slides across the grass like a slow hand. A Cut Above Tree and Lawn works in exactly that light — mowing, edging and trimming until a yard carries a clean line where the turf meets the walk, the kind you can read from a passing car. Summer here runs long and the grass takes full advantage of it, so the rounds stay steady from the first warm week to the last. When West Tennessee gets one of its short, serious cold snaps, the same hands turn to plowing lots, clearing walks and treating ice before the square wakes up. Two kinds of work, one town, and the same idea about how ground ought to look when the truck pulls away.
