Fog settles in the valley overnight and hangs on the shoulder of Simms Mountain until the sun burns it off, which in Cedartown is about when the trailers start rolling. Invictus Lawncare Services runs mowing, edging and trimming across town on that early schedule, ahead of the heat and ahead of the traffic. Grass here grows on Georgia's terms — quick in May, relentless in July, stubborn on the shady side of the house. The work is repetitive on purpose: the same yards, the same day, the same straight edge along the concrete. Leaf and debris cleanups take over once the hardwoods begin dropping.
