August in Habersham County can turn dry between storms, and lawns show it first along the driveway where the clay bakes hardest. Gaylord Lawn & Sprinkler keeps Clarkesville yards on a steady mowing round through those weeks — cutting, edging, string trimming, clearing the walks — so the grass stays even and green under the strain. Then the thunderheads finally stack up over the ridge, the rain comes, and everything grows two inches overnight. Fall means leaves and cutbacks; spring means mulch and the first real cut of the year. Whatever the month, the measure is the same: a lawn with a straight edge and a drive with nothing on it.
