On weekend nights in Ben Wheeler, music drifts out of the old buildings at the crossroads and carries over the Van Zandt County hills. By morning the village is still again, fog lifting off the low places and the pines standing dark against a pale sky. Breaking Ground Outdoor Services does its work in that East Texas morning light, mowing and trimming yards and keeping outdoor spaces in shape against the green that comes on so fast in this rain-fed country. The name suits ground where every season seems to start something new in the soil. The aim is a yard that sets the tone for the whole day, bright as the morning after a good show.
