Late winter in Ivylog is all bare ridge and blue distance, frost holding in the hollows until midmorning while the Chattahoochee National Forest stands quiet on every side. Holy Ground Property Maintenance, LLC uses that stretch for ground work — clearing the last of the leaves, cutting back overgrowth, getting yards squared away before the grass wakes up. Once it does, the routine sets in: mowing, edging, trimming, and blowing the walks and drives clean each visit. Ground this steep asks for patience and a steady line, and a lawn that keeps its edge against the woods is proof of both. By high summer these yards are as green as anything in Georgia. Holding them there, week to week, is the work.
