Auto-Lawns of Virginia

About Auto-Lawns of Virginia

Clarke County keeps its old stone walls, and in June the grass runs right up to them — thick, fast, greedy for the long light. Auto-Lawns of Virginia mows the yards and open ground between those walls, holding a straight line across land that rolls more than it admits. The work is mowing, trimming along fence posts and mailboxes, edging where lawn meets gravel, and clearing the cuttings so the finish stays sharp. The reward is the walk back to the truck, looking at stripes laid down a slope like combed wool. Out this way, a well-kept lawn is half the county's manners.
