Out toward Nashville — Jericho's smallest corner, the one most people drive straight past — the lawns are wide and the maples over them are older than the houses. VT Tree Service mows and trims those yards from the first dry week of spring to the last of the leaves. Early mornings are the good ones: dew still down, valley air cool, the mower leaving a line you can read from the porch. Beds get edged, the string trimmer follows the foundation and the fence posts, and clippings come off the pavement before the truck leaves. Autumn drops everything at once around here, so hauling leaves away is half the season's work.
