Summer evenings in Greenville come on slowly, the light going long and gold across the courthouse square while the water oaks turn to silhouette. Cricket Lawn Works works those hours — mowing, edging, string trimming the fence lines, then blowing the clippings off the walk so a yard is put away clean before dark. Meriwether County's red clay grows a stubborn Bermuda, and there is real satisfaction in the pass that finally makes it look tended. Later in the year the leaves come down, and the cleanup work carries each yard through to spring. Around here the lawn is the first thing a neighbor sees, and that is reason enough to do it properly.
