April dusts everything in Fair Oaks the same shade of yellow — cars, porch rails, the dark green of the shrubs — while the dogwoods go white along the side streets. Fernando's Landscaping opens the season in that pollen haze: first cuts of the year, beds cleared of winter litter, mulch laid fresh, borders cut back to a clean margin. Cobb County ground wakes up fast once the nights turn mild, and a lawn that gets attention early carries the look all summer. There is pride in the before-and-after of a spring cleanup — the same yard, an hour apart, suddenly awake. Then the routine takes over: cut, trim the borders, recut the edges, and back again the following week.
