In January the bermuda across north Fulton goes the color of straw, the hickories stand bare, and a property has nowhere left to hide. Rivendell Estate Care, LLC keeps the larger Alpharetta places through that honest stretch — mowing and turf care in season, edging, pruning and shrub shaping, bed and mulch upkeep, leaf and storm cleanup, grounds held in order week over week. On a long drive the eye goes first to the edge line, so the edge line gets the time it deserves. Winter work is quieter and shows more: clean beds, shaped hedges, a lawn set up for the first warm week. Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek and Cumming are all within reach.
