April in Adairsville turns everything a soft yellow — pine pollen on the truck hood, on the mower deck, on the still water in every ditch — until a good rain washes the whole valley back to green. That is the week C & R lawn Care and Landscaping gets busy, with dogwood and redbud still lit up along the fence rows and the grass suddenly needing attention again. The work is mowing, edging, trimming and hauling off the winter's leftovers so a yard can start its season square. Red clay is honest ground to work; it holds a line, and a border cut into it stays cut. There is real pride in that first tidy pass of spring, when a lawn goes from shaggy to finished in an afternoon.
