In the middle of Ellijay the Cartecay and the Ellijay come together and leave as the Coosawattee — one town, two rivers, three names for the same water. River Stone Landscapes, LLC works the yards on either bank and out through the county, keeping up the mowing, the trimming and the edge work on a steady rotation. River-bottom lawns grow rich and fast; they reward a schedule and punish a skipped week. Seasonal cleanups clear the leaf fall that always finds its way down toward the water. A well-kept lawn beside a running river is a small, good thing to leave behind.
