July in Carroll County belongs to bermuda grass and crape myrtles — one thriving in the heat, the other blooming right through it. Peach State Turf Care, Inc. spends those long weeks on Carrollton lawns, mowing on schedule so the turf stays thick instead of going stemmy. Trimming around the beds, edging the drive, sweeping the clippings off the concrete: small motions that add up to a lawn that looks intended rather than accidental. Heat shimmer over the street, cicadas going, and a green rectangle behind the crew that was ragged an hour before. That is a good afternoon's work in this part of Georgia.
