About St.Clair Outdoors

Kilgore keeps its derricks downtown, steel latticework standing over the sidewalks where the ground once gave up more oil than anyone could count. St.Clair Outdoors works the grass beneath them — mowing, edging, trimming and clearing the clippings away across the red-clay yards and pine shade of this corner of East Texas. Summer comes on thick and green here, Bermuda climbing back a half inch before the truck reaches the end of the street, so there is real satisfaction in a lawn cut clean while the morning heat is still gathering. An edge along a Kilgore driveway ought to be a line you could sight down, and the pine straw ought to be off the walk before evening comes. From the blocks around the college out to White Oak, Gladewater, Longview and Overton, that is the whole of it: yards kept, walks swept, the line held.
