Bush Lawn Service

About Bush Lawn Service

The county roads leaving Jacksonville run red — iron ore gravel that powders the fenceposts in June and turns a deep rust color the minute rain touches it. Bush Lawn Service runs those roads all summer, out to the places where a yard ends at a hay meadow and the tomato country history is still written in the shape of the fields. Midday here belongs to the cicadas and to anybody willing to keep pushing a mower through it, so the work starts early and the last pass usually happens in the long shade. Mowing, string trimming, edging, and clearing off what the blower kicks loose — nothing complicated, just done all the way to the property line. Around Jacksonville, Gallatin and Mount Selman, a finished yard reads as a small piece of order set against a very green county.
