McCaysville sits right on the line, the Toccoa River running north out of Fannin County and taking a new name at the state boundary. American Landscaping starts early here, while river fog is still up in the bottoms and the ridges are only beginning to come out of shadow. The work runs to mowing, edging, trimming, mulching, shrub shaping, and the cleanups that mountain yards ask for twice a year. Ground this steep means cutting across the slope and hand-trimming what no mower can reach, and the payoff is a lawn that holds its shape on a hillside. By the time the sun clears the ridge the yard is cut, blown clean, and looking like it belongs to the view standing behind it.
