Morning in Franklin comes up off the Chattahoochee first — a low seam of river fog that lies in the bottomland pines until the sun burns through and the red clay begins to warm. Conlin Lawn Care & Landscaping LLC works the yards of Heard County in that window, while the grass still holds dew and a mower line reads dark and true behind the machine. Mowing, trimming, edging along walks and drives, then a blower pass to leave the concrete bare: small disciplines that make a place look tended from the road. There is real satisfaction in the last lap of a lot — the edge crisp against the driveway, the clippings gone, everything squared to its lines. Franklin is a river town with room to breathe, and a yard kept up here holds that shape all week.
