Head northwest toward Dawsonville and the country stiffens into foothills; the yards get bigger, cut out of pine and hardwood, with the grass often reaching to a tree line. Dawsonville Lawn Pros mows and edges those open acres, trims fence rows and mailbox posts, clears brush at the margins and pulls leaves out of the beds when the ridges empty. Spring runs a week or two later up in the hollows than it does down at the lake, and the first cool morning of September gets there earlier. Mulch and pine straw go in around the foundations, and the shrubs get shaped before the growth gets ahead of anybody. A long drive mowed end to end in one afternoon is a good thing to look back at.
