Milledgeville kept its capital-city bones — brick walks, deep front yards, the Old Governor's Mansion sitting behind its iron fence like it still has business to conduct. Capital Lawn Service, LLC keeps ordinary yards in that town on a rhythm: mown, edged, trimmed and swept, week in and week out. October is the sweetest stretch of it, when growth slows and the light goes long and thin across a fresh-cut lawn at four in the afternoon. A tended yard is not a small thing on streets that have been looked at for a very long time. That is the aim every time the gate swings shut.
