In July the crepe myrtles around Eatonton's courthouse square go pink and stay that way for weeks, and the whole town seems to be waiting on evening. Aurelios Landscaping Services spends those bright hours in the yards off the square — setting plants, spreading mulch, shaping beds so a house has something to offer the street. Landscaping in this part of Georgia means working with hard heat and heavy summer rain, choosing what will hold up in August and still look right come April. Lawns are mowed, trimmed and cleaned up; borders are cut clean where grass gives way to pine straw. The reward is a simple one: a yard a family steps out into and likes.
