Hartwell keeps its courthouse at the center of the square and the town arranged around it, and spring shows up there first — dogwoods, then everything else in a rush. Georgia Grounds - Hartwell Landscapers works that season through the neighborhoods spoking out from downtown, mowing, edging, mulching and shaping beds while the ground is still soft. Piedmont clay is heavy and slow to drain, which makes bed prep the difference between a planting that thrives and one that sulks all summer. From there the route settles into a weekly rhythm that carries into fall. A property that looks intentional from the street is the entire ambition.
