Late in August the planes come down low over East Point toward Hartsfield-Jackson, one behind another against a sky turning orange, and the cicadas hold their note underneath. XY Lawn Care Service LLC works the tail end of those days, once the heat lets go of the pavement and grass will take a cut without scorching. Bermuda and zoysia grow hard in a South Fulton summer, and the answer is simply showing up: mowing at the right height, edging the drive and the walk, running the trimmer down the fence line, blowing every square of concrete clean. What stays behind after the mower shuts off is a sharp, unbroken edge and a lawn wearing the last of the evening light. Cut grass and warm asphalt is the smell of this side of town in summer, and it is a good thing to leave in the air.
