February in the valley is bare and honest — the hardwoods are open, the ground is cold, and every shrub in Calhoun shows exactly what it has become since last spring. That is the window Edwards Lawn & Shrub Services works: hedges and foundation shrubs pruned back into shape, hollies and boxwoods thinned and tidied, clippings hauled off, and the lawn mowed and edged once the season turns. A well-cut shrub line is the frame a house is hung in; let it go and everything behind it looks tired. Cut it clean and the same house reads as cared for from the street. By April the growth comes back into a shape somebody chose.
