Out past the last subdivision the lots give way to pasture, and fence lines run straight to the tree line with a creek bottom somewhere in the low ground. Fillys Landscaping works that edge of Hall County where lawn meets field — mowing and edging the kept ground, trimming tight along rails and gate posts, clearing overgrowth at the fence rows, laying mulch and pine straw around the house, and shaping shrubs before summer thickens them. Morning here starts with mist standing in the swales and a heron somewhere down at the water. A mowed lawn holding its line against the pasture is a satisfying thing to see from the porch. Between Gainesville and Flowery Branch, that boundary is worth keeping honest.
