September pulls the aspens above Fort Valley into a gold so loud you can see it from the highway. Mountain Girl Landscape spends that turn of the season on yards below the Peaks: mowing while there is still growth, trimming and shaping shrubs, and raking and carrying off the leaves that arrive all at once. Fall cleanup here is a race against the first serious cold, and getting a property clear before it lands is the difference between a tidy spring and a soggy one. The work is straightforward and physical — rake, blow, load, sweep, check the corners again. A Fort Valley lawn cleared down to green in October has a clean, honest look to it.
