The Little Tallapoosa runs slow and green through the bottomlands south of town, and the air near it in July has real weight to it. Nunez Lawn Care works through that heat on Carrollton yards, starting early, keeping the water jug close, cutting before the sun gets mean. Mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup — the same steady list, carried all the way to the fence line and around the mailbox post. Grass grows fast here from April to October, and staying ahead of it is the whole discipline. There is real satisfaction in stepping back at the end of a lot and seeing it even from the road to the treeline.
