August in Coweta County arrives thick and bright, the Chattahoochee running low and green west of town while thunderheads stack up over the pines by three o'clock. Benny's Lawn Care Service reads that sky like a clock, getting the mowing, trimming and edging finished before the first fat drops hit the pavement. Grass here grows hard through a Georgia summer, and keeping ahead of it takes showing up on the same day, week after week, rain or shine on either side of it. The reward comes when the storm passes and the yard stands there rinsed and even, every border still holding its shape. That is the whole point of the work, and it never gets old.
