The old mill blocks near the Augusta Canal are built to a human scale — narrow lots, deep porches, sidewalks that run right up to the grass. Small yards ask for a careful hand more than a big machine, so the work is close trimming at the steps and fence posts, tidy mowing between them, and an edge cut clean along the walk. One yard done well changes the look of a whole block, and neighbors notice from the porch. Clippings get swept and blown off the concrete so nothing tracks inside. Modest ground kept sharp, with the canal path holding its quiet just past the end of the street.
