Tinker Mountain throws its shadow over Cloverdale early, and on a June morning the grass on that side of the valley stays wet a full hour longer than anywhere else. Amowroso Lawn Care times the week around that — mowing once the dew lifts, then trimming and edging until the borders of a Botetourt yard are drawn as clean as a line on paper. Regular cutting through a long Roanoke Valley growing season keeps a lawn even and thick rather than shaggy and thin in patches. In autumn the leaves come down off the ridges in waves and get gathered and hauled before they can smother the turf beneath. Neat grass under a big mountain is a fine thing to sit and look at.
