North of town the creeks slide over flat granite shelves, and Columbus builds its streets right up against those woods. Tinker's Mowing LLC starts early out that way, cutting ahead of the heat and holding the grass at a height that can survive August. Edging is the part people notice without knowing why, since a clean seam between concrete and green makes an ordinary yard look finished. Storm weeks leave sticks and sweetgum scattered across a whole lawn, and clearing that is half the work. Cataula, Fortson, Waverly Hall and the rest of north Columbus stay on the weekly rotation.
