Lula grew up around a rail junction, and freight still leans on the horn coming through town, a sound you learn to mow right past. Allen's Landscape Solutions LLC keeps yards on both sides of those tracks cut, edged and trimmed, from the old streets near the depot out to the places on the county roads. Hall and Banks County clay is stubborn stuff, and a lawn that looks good on it has been worked at, not lucked into. Mornings start early here because the heat comes on fast once the sun clears the trees. What they leave is a yard squared to its walks and drives, tidy enough to notice from a passing train.
