Morning in Alamo is short-lived — the cool holds until the sun clears the pines, and then Wheeler County settles into its heat for the day. Alamo LawnCare Services LLC takes those early hours seriously, getting the mowing done while the grass is still crisp and the air still moves. Trimming close to fences and foundations, a straight edge along the sidewalk, the drive blown clean: the routine is unremarkable and the results are not. In this part of Georgia a yard can go from kept to overgrown in ten days of rain, which makes showing up on schedule most of the skill. Alamo and the small towns along the highways nearby make up the map.
