An August storm can drop an inch on East Lanier in twenty minutes and leave the grass an inch taller by the weekend. P&C's outdoor services works around that — mowing on the first dry morning, trimming the wet edges by hand, edging the drive, picking up the small limbs the wind knocked loose. Timing beats horsepower in this county: a yard cut at the right hour looks even, and one cut too soon looks torn. The finish is worth waiting for, uniform height and clean lines with nothing left on the pavement. Then the next wall of cloud builds in the west and it all starts over.
