North of Canton the roads climb toward Ball Ground and Sharp Mountain, and the country opens into pasture, pine and new streets cut into old farmland. T & J Landscaping and Design works both ends of that — the established yards in town and the wide, sunny lots out on the north side — mowing, edging and trimming them into shape through the growing season. The first cut after a wet Cherokee County spring is the one that shows what a lawn can be: heavy growth taken down evenly, the edge reopened along the curb, the whole property reading as one clean piece again. Every visit after that is about holding that line. Done right, a yard never looks like it was just mowed; it looks like it is always kept.
