Out past the edge of Colquitt the fields run to the horizon in peanut and cotton rows, and Spring Creek keeps its dark line of trees through the middle of Miller County. Green Rows Lawn Care LLC brings that same straightness home to the yard — mowing in even passes, edging along the drive, trimming close at the fence posts and the mailbox. South Georgia summers are long and wet, and bahia and centipede take full advantage from May clear into October, which makes a regular cutting schedule the whole game. There is real pleasure in stepping back at the end of a June afternoon and watching the stripes line up across a yard. Out here, tidy ground is a way of speaking.
