Ludowici took its name from a roof-tile works, which is a fitting sort of history for a town where things are expected to be built square and hold up. ESCO Lawn Service brings that same plainness to the grass: mow it well, edge it clean, trim what the mower can't reach, and leave the concrete swept. Saturday mornings the mowers start early, before the heat has any opinion about it. Long County summers run long and wet, and a lawn here can go from tidy to shaggy in eight days flat, so the visits stay regular. The result is a front yard you don't have to think about — which, in July, is a kindness.
