August in Cuthbert builds all day and breaks by four: a purple wall stacking up toward Fort Gaines, thunder, then rain hard enough to lay the grass flat. Irrigation Plus works the hours around it, mowing and edging in the morning cool and running the trimmer down the fence lines before the sky closes. Bermuda and centipede move fast in that heat and water, and staying ahead of them is most of the job. Walks get blown off, beds get cleared, and clippings never sit long enough to yellow the turf beneath them. When the storm slides east and the sun comes back low and clean, a yard cut that morning still looks like it.
