For about two weeks every spring, southwest Georgia turns yellow — pine pollen on the windshields, on the porch rails, drifting along the curb in the gutter. Simpson's Lawn Care & Car Wsh takes on both halves of that problem: lawns mowed, trimmed, edged and blown off, and vehicles washed back to their own paint. Once the pollen passes, the growing gets serious, and the Americus routes settle into a weekly cadence that runs deep into fall. There is something plainly good about a cut yard with a rinsed truck sitting in the driveway of it. Small things, both — and both of them show from the street.
