Georgia clay is a stubborn medium — brick red, packed hard in a dry spell, slick as soap after a storm — and everything that grows in Lithonia has to make its peace with it. F & R Landscaping & Gardening works with that ground rather than against it, keeping lawns cut, edged and clean while the crape myrtles do their long slow August bloom overhead. A yard here is never finished, only kept, and the keeping is the whole point. The reward comes at the end of an afternoon: grass even, borders defined, the driveway swept back to bare concrete. Lawn care and yard upkeep throughout Lithonia and the nearby DeKalb communities.
