Freight comes through downtown Locust Grove without much warning — a horn, then the long clatter, then quiet again. ALC Lawn Services LLC works right through it, midday sun overhead, cutting and trimming the yards on the streets that lean toward the tracks. Hedges get shaped, beds get their mulch, and the walks are blown clean before the truck pulls away. A Georgia summer asks for a weekly rhythm, and a lawn kept on that rhythm never has to be rescued. There is plain satisfaction in a yard that looks intentional from the road.
