Griffin sits on high Piedmont ground, where a hard rain has to decide whether it is headed for the Flint or the Ocmulgee. Apex Lawn Care LLC works that upland red clay week after week, with mowing, edging, trimming and cleanup, plus shrub work and fresh mulch when the beds thin out. Late April is the turn here: dormant tan gives way almost overnight, and suddenly every yard from Vaughn back into town wants a blade on it. Cutting on a slope takes a steady hand, and the reward is a lawn that lies even from the road to the back fence. Come autumn the same route gets its leaves cleared and its edges recut before the ground goes cold.
