Packard Landscape Co.

About Packard Landscape Co.

In Flemington the hills come in long green folds, hayfield stacked on hayfield, and the old rail grade still runs down toward Grafton. Packard Landscape Co. keeps lawns here in Taylor County, where April comes in wet, the first mowing waits later than anybody wants, and then the grass makes up for lost time in about ten days. Country yards run big and uneven, a bank by the road, a strip along the barn lot, a shade patch under an oak that never quite thickens, and each one asks for its own pass. Trimming the fence line and edging the walk is what separates a mowed yard from a finished one. From Flemington out to Thornton, Grafton and the ridges above Tygart Lake, the aim is a place that looks tended clear to the property line.
