North of Paris the Red River runs the color of strong coffee, and the bottoms along it will grow anything a person lets them. Black Water Landscape LLC keeps that growth on the polite side of the fence for yards around town — mowing, edging, trimming, and seasonal cleanup when one season hands off to the next. After a wet week the grass comes up thick and the whole job becomes a matter of timing: get in between the storms and cut it before it lays over. There is a particular quiet at the end of a yard, engines off, the turf even from road to back fence. Paris likes its places kept, and this is one of the ways that gets done.
