Late summer evenings in the old copper basin cool off fast, and fog settles into the hollows around McCaysville almost before the light has gone. D R Waters Lawn Service works those long days: mowing, trimming, edging, blowing the walks and drives, and clearing leaves and yard debris once the hardwoods start letting go. Fannin County yards climb and drop, wrap around laurel and outcrop rock, and almost never offer a straight line, so each property gets its own approach. Beds are cleaned out and mulched, and shrubs get cut back off the porch rails and the window glass. There is a real pull in watching a mountain yard come out even and tidy against all that steep green.
