November is gentle in this part of Georgia. The heat finally breaks, the sweetgums drop their spiky balls across the yard, and the oaks let go a little at a time so the raking never quite finishes. B-N-C Lawncare and Maintenance works right through it around Flippen and McDonough — the last mows of the season, leaves cleared off the turf and out of the beds, sticks and debris hauled away, borders cut back sharp before dormancy. A lawn put to bed clean in the fall comes back easier in the spring. There is something satisfying about a yard swept down to green under a cold sky.
