A straight line is the whole argument. B&S lawn care makes it in Cochran every week — the edge along the driveway, the border where the St. Augustine stops and the flowerbed starts, the clean cut against a curb that has been crumbling since before anybody measured it. April is when it matters most, when everything green in middle Georgia decides to grow at once and a yard can get away from you in six days flat. Mowing, edging, trimming and blowing are the tools; a lawn that looks intentional from the mailbox is the point. Come summer the mowing height goes up and the schedule tightens, because that is what the grass asks for.
