Dawn over Midville brings mist off the Ogeechee and light through the pines onto sandy Burke County ground. shorty's lawn care starts there, in the cool hour before the day turns heavy, cutting yards that stretch back farther than town lots usually do. The mower does the open ground and the trimmer handles the ditch banks, the fence line and the base of every oak. Edging finishes the drive, and the blower clears whatever landed on the concrete. Small town, wide yards, and a cut that holds its line all the way to the treeline.
