The national forest begins just north of Clarkesville, and there is a point on nearly every drive out of town where the yards give way to woods that keep going. Weidner Landscape works the tended side of that line — mowing, edging, trimming, keeping beds and shrubs in bounds against ground that would happily take them back. From May through September the growth is relentless and the schedule is what answers it. Cooler months bring the leaf clearing, the cutbacks, and mulch once the soil is ready for it again. Done right, a yard up here looks like a deliberate clearing: sharp at the edges, open, easy on the eye.
