At midday the shadows on the Gainesville square pull in tight beneath the trees and the whole downtown seems to slow for an hour. The streets that run off it climb into neighborhoods of deep lots and short hills, and that is the ground Prime Lawn Care Pros keeps — mowing on a steady week, edging every curb and walk, trimming the corners a deck cannot reach. Slopes get taken across, not down, and the blower finishes the job so the concrete is as clean as the grass. Spring here is fast and green, summer is long, and a route only holds together if somebody shows up the same day every time. The reward is small and constant: a straight line where the lawn meets the sidewalk.
