By October the orchard road out toward Highway 52 is bumper to bumper with people come for apples, and the whole county smells like cider and cut grass. Taylor Lawn Care keeps working right through that season, mowing the last flushes of growth, edging the drives that visitors will park along, and staying ahead of the leaves as the maples above Ellijay turn. Summer here is the long stretch — mow, trim, blow clean, week after week, until the mornings go cool again. Yards in this valley run to slope and shade and stubborn patches under the pines, and each one gets cut to suit it. The work is straightforward lawn care for homes and properties in and around town. The measure of a good day is a yard that looks finished from the mailbox.
