Whitlock Avenue in May is a corridor of porches and azaleas going over, the dogwood petals down and the heat just beginning to mean it. Daniel and Son Lawn Care Services runs the mowers through that first real stretch of Georgia summer, keeping a weekly line on lawns that will not stop growing until October. The service list stays close to the ground: mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing the walks and drives, mulching beds, and trimming hedges back to a clean face. Come autumn the leaves get cleared, and come spring the winter mess gets swept out and the beds get redefined. A cut lawn is the plainest kind of hospitality a house can offer, and that is the point of every visit.
