Fall in this pocket of DeKalb County comes down as a slow copper rain, loblollies shedding needles over every roof and flower bed from Tilly Mill Road out to the Perimeter. Dunwoody Pinestraw LLC works with that harvest instead of against it, laying fresh straw until the beds glow rust-orange and the roots beneath them settle in for the cool months. The rest of the year is lawn care: mowing, edging, bed upkeep, and hauling off the leaf drop that gathers in the corners. Fresh straw does for a yard what a made bed does for a room. Walking back to the truck and seeing every bed line drawn sharp against green is the whole point of the day.
