Out past the airstrip the ground lies flat for a stretch, one of the few places around Blairsville where a mower can run long and straight. Southern Landscape Service takes both kinds of ground here — the open lots and the tucked-in yards — with mowing, trimming, edging, mulch work, hedge trimming and seasonal cleanup. Midsummer in this valley is heat and haze and grass that needs a week and no longer between cuts. The pleasure is in the finished pass: clean stripes where there is room for them, tight corners where there is not. Union County yards, kept on a schedule they can count on.
