Buford sits up high on ground that falls away toward the lake, and at first light you can watch fog settle into the low places while the ridge yards are already lit. Elevated Lawn Care likes that hour — dew burning off, the first cut of the day, a straight line laid across a sloping front lawn. Mowing, edging, string trimming, and clearing whatever the wind carried downhill overnight. Hillside grass punishes sloppy work because it shows every wobble, so the passes get walked slowly and set square to the slope. Buford and the towns along the ridge are on the route.
