For two weeks each spring the pines let go and Locust Grove turns gold — windshields, porch rails, the surface of every puddle. A&M Professional Landscapers works through the yellow, mowing the first flush of growth, cutting fresh edges into beds gone soft over the winter, spreading mulch dark enough to make the green look greener. Shrubs get shaped, walks get blown, and the pollen washes off in the next storm. What is left is a property that looks composed heading into the long Georgia summer.
