Out past town the properties stretch — mailbox at the road, house set well back, a fence line running off into the timber. WD Nickerson Lawn Services takes those end to end around Cusseta, mowing the open ground, trimming along posts and foundations, edging the drive and clearing the cuttings away. There is a weekday quiet in Chattahoochee County that a mower does not really break; it just sounds like somebody keeping up with things. Big yard or small, the finish is identical: even height, defined lines, nothing left where it does not belong. That consistency is the shape of the work.
