Out where Cedartown loosens into pasture and pine, the lots stop being yards and start being land. Cox Lawn & Land Management takes on both — mowing and trimming close to the house, then the rougher acreage past the fence line that would go to briars in a single wet summer. Midsummer in the Cedar Valley is humid and generous, and everything green treats a skipped week as an invitation. The pleasure of it is standing back at the road afterward, seeing where the mowed edge meets the tree line, straight as a drawn rule. Come fall the cleanups run, and the land goes quiet again.
