First stop is before the heat: dew still silver on the blades, the trailer gate down, the mower laying its first dark stripe across a grey-lit yard. Drake Lawn Care runs the day in that order — cut, edge, trim the tight corners a mower deck can never reach, then clear the walks and drive until nothing is left but grass. The ground around Buckhead rolls, so the passes get read hill by hill instead of forced straight. Cutting the same lawn week after week teaches you where it drains, where it burns, where it wants a taller blade in August. That knowledge never shows up on a list, only in the finished yard.
