Early in Crawfordville the pines around A.H. Stephens State Park hold the night's cool a while, and that hour is a good one to be cutting. Above and Beyond Maintenance Services LLC works the lawns of Taliaferro County — mowing, string trimming, edging along walks and drives, then blowing every bit of it back off the concrete. Hedges are shaped, beds weeded and mulched, and the pine straw and leaves that gather under the canopy are cleared away. Piedmont clay bakes hard by August, so the deck stays at a height the turf can carry through the heat. By evening the yards along the park road look tended, and that is the entire point.
