Weather comes to Ellijay from the northwest, over the Cohuttas, and you can watch a storm cross the ridges half an hour before it reaches town. HPC Services North Georgia LLC plans the day around that view — get the open lawns mowed, trim what can be trimmed, edge the drives while the ground is still dry. North Georgia grass takes the rain and answers within days, so the cutting schedule never really slackens from April to October. Fall cleanups follow, moving leaves out before they turn to mush. A place kept up week to week never needs rescuing.
