April in Union County starts with dogwood along the fencerows and ends with everything growing at once. Dave's Lawn Service keeps a route through Blairsville and the roads running out of town — mowing on schedule, trimming fence lines and mailboxes, edging walks, and blowing the drive clean before pulling out. A regular cut is half the job; the other half is noticing, the low spot that stays wet, the shady strip that grows slow, the bank that needs a careful pass. Come autumn the same route turns into leaf work and one last mow before frost. Yard after yard, the town looks a little better for it.
