The hills southwest of Atlanta roll on gently toward Palmetto and Chattahoochee Hills, and Cedar Grove sits up among oaks and pines that hold their leaves late into the fall. When they finally let go, Cedar Ridge Lawn Care LLC arrives with blowers and rakes, clearing turf, beds and fence corners until the yard comes back into view. The rest of the calendar runs on mowing, edging, string trimming and cleanups, week after week, so nothing ever gets out ahead of itself. There is real satisfaction in the last November pass — drive swept, border sharp, the lawn cut short and clean for the cold months. Come March they will be back to wake the whole thing up again.
