July in Cochran is a wall of heat that starts around ten and does not let go until the cicadas quit. Dixie Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. plans the day around it — the big open lots early, the shaded work later, water in the cooler either way. The company handles mowing, edging and trimming alongside landscaping work: mulch, hedges, bed borders and planting through the cooler months. Georgia clay bakes hard and then swallows a summer downpour whole, so bed grading and mulch depth are not decoration, they are drainage. When it is done the property looks composed rather than merely mowed, and it holds that look between visits.
