Gainesville stacks itself on hills above Lake Lanier, and the streets off the square still run under hardwoods that shade half a lawn until mid-morning. Landscape Management Company mows and maintains those yards — the shaded ones that come in thin, the open ones that come in fast — edging along walks and curbs and finishing with a clean pass. Hall County heat arrives in May and settles in, so the mowing cycle tightens, then eases again when the nights cool and the foothills turn. Leaves fall in a hurry here once they start, and getting them off the turf is its own season of work. A yard on a Gainesville hillside, cut level and edged to the line, looks like somebody meant it.
