The soil here is red clay and it gives nothing up easily — Elbert County grass earns its green through hot Junes and dry Augusts. Southern Roots Lawn Care works with that, mowing at a height the summer can stand and keeping edges and trim lines true right through the heat. Early starts and shade breaks under the pine ridges are simply how the season gets done in this part of the Piedmont. The result is a yard that holds its color and its shape when the weather is asking a great deal of it. Nothing fancy about it — just steady care that lets a place look like somebody's home.
