A Buford evening in June is humid and slow — porch lights flicking on, magnolia holding the day's heat, fireflies lifting off a lawn that was cut that morning. Southern Care Lawn & Landscape, Inc. tends the yards that make that scene: mowing, edging, trimming, bed and border upkeep, and cleanup so nothing is left underfoot. A front yard here is half-public, the part of a house that greets the street, and it gets treated that way. The pride is in a lawn somebody actually wants to walk out onto barefoot. Buford and its neighboring communities are on the route.
