Late in a Clarkesville afternoon the light comes in sideways across the pastures on Highway 197, and freshly cut grass looks about as good as grass ever looks. Garza Landscaping spends its days making that view — mowing on a set schedule, edging drives and walkways, trimming the corners a mower cannot take, raking the last of it off the steps. North Georgia's growing season is long and wet enough to keep the work steady from March into November. When it winds down, the leaves come off and the shrubs get shaped for the cold, and beds get topped with mulch once the ground warms again. A tidy yard at dusk, clean along the walks, nothing left on the steps — that is the whole point.
