Out past Deans Bridge Road the ground goes pale and sandy, and first light comes up over the pines a good while before the heat does. AJC Lawncare Landscaping works Gracewood in those early hours, when dew still beads on the Bermuda and the mower leaves a clean line behind it. Mowing, edging along walks and drives, trimming close to fence posts and mailbox pipes, then a blow-down that leaves the concrete bare. By the time the Richmond County afternoon goes bright and heavy, the cutting is finished and the edges are still holding their shape. Gracewood is home ground, and the work carries out to Hephzibah, Blythe, McBean and the Augusta side.
