Fog lifts off Lake Buchanan on cool mornings and hangs over the dam until the sun burns through, the hills standing out blue behind it. Sam's Nursery & Landscaping keeps lawns around the dam and the lake roads looking tended in every month of a Hill Country year. Cedar and limestone country does not hand anybody grass; it has to be mowed at the right height, edged along the walks, trimmed at the rock borders and cleaned up after. Winters here stay mild enough that the work never fully stops, only slows down. The satisfaction is in the finish — a clean line where the lawn meets the stone.
