August in northeast Georgia is heavy air and afternoon thunder, and the lakes and creeks south of Lula seem to breathe humidity straight up into the sky. crumleys' landscaping works those weeks the way you have to — early, steady, plenty of water, and a mower blade kept sharp so the grass gets cut rather than torn. Mowing, edging and trimming around Lula, with the clippings cleared off so nothing bakes onto the concrete. Heat-stressed turf shows every mistake, which is exactly why the careful passes matter most in midsummer. By Labor Day the yards that were tended all August are the ones still standing green.
