Come autumn the country around Childress goes tan and gold, cotton fields stretch to the horizon, and the light lays out flat and clear all afternoon. Tjw Dozer & Excavating Inc mows the wide lots on the edge of town where a yard can run for an acre before it meets the fence. Big ground gets cut in long, straight passes; the trimmer then handles gates, corner posts and the ground around outbuildings. Drives and aprons are blown down before the gear goes back on the trailer. At that hour, with the shadows long, a properly cut lot looks like a page turned smooth.
