Mornings in Helen come in cool off the mountains, with fog settled into the Chattahoochee valley until the sun climbs high enough to lift it. JC Lawn Care mows and trims the yards along the river and up the slopes above it, where lots run steep and no two are shaped alike. Mountain ground means hand trimming around rock, root and grade, edging by feel, and knowing which corners hold water for a day after a storm. The growing season up here starts later and ends earlier than it does down in the flatwoods, so every week of it counts. Yards in Helen, Robertstown and the valley running out toward Sautee Nacoochee.
