Fog lies on the Altamaha most mornings until the sun leans in and lifts it, and by then the trucks are already rolling out of Ludowici with dew still heavy on the tailgates. Altamaha Landscaping LLC mows, edges and trims yards across this low green corner of Long County, week after week through the long run of a coastal-plain summer. Down here the grass answers to the river's weather — one thunderstorm off the flatwoods and everything stands two inches taller by morning. There is a plain satisfaction in the final pass, when the stripes fall true and the walk edge comes back clean against the sand. Midday heat arrives, the blowers clear the drive, and the truck moves on to the next yard.
