Lawrenceville wakes early — traffic pulling out of the neighborhoods while the old square stays quiet another hour. Roberts lawn Maintenance is out in that first part of the day, mowing lawns across Gwinnett, cutting the edge back along the driveway apron, and trimming the strips a mower cannot reach. Dogwood and pine give the older streets their shade; the newer ones are open sun and fast grass, so the schedule stays full from March into November. Fall brings the leaves down hard, and hauling them away is the work that closes out the year. Coming home to squared corners and a swept drive is a small, steady pleasure.
