Out toward Choestoe the valley narrows and the light goes gold about an hour before the ridgelines take it away. C&D Lawncare & Tree Service LLC runs Blairsville and the coves around it — mowing, string trimming, edging, hedge and shrub trimming, and hauling off the yard debris that mountain wind leaves behind. Lawns up here are shaped by whatever the land allows: a bench of grass between hardwoods, a slope that has to be cut across, an open field kept in the sun. Getting all of it even, top to bottom, takes patience and a good line. By the time the mower shuts off, the whole place sits quiet and squared away.
