Ball Ground took its name from a field where games were played, and the town has never quite lost its fondness for open ground kept green. Ball Ground Lawn Care mows the yards that climb the red clay of Cherokee County, where the land begins its first slow lift toward the Blue Ridge. There is a plain satisfaction in an edge cut clean along a driveway — the sort of line you notice from the road without knowing why you noticed. Trimming, blowing the walks clear, carrying off what the week dropped: small work, carried all the way into the corners. By evening the grass lies over in even bands and the whole place looks looked-after.
