Lake Allatoona backs up into the coves below Red Top Mountain, and the yards along those roads tilt toward water, half open sun and half hardwood shade. J&J Lawn Care of Cartersville handles them on a weekly loop: mow, edge, trim, then everything blown off the drive and the ramp apron. Shade thins turf out there, so overseeding and bed work matter about as much as the cut itself. On summer weekends the lake fills up and a lawn needs to look like somebody is home; in winter it turns to leaf work and a slower pass through the neighborhood. The loop keeps going, week to week, all season.
