Roosevelt Highway carries most of Palmetto's traffic, and in October the shoulders along it go rust and red where the clay shows through the frost-touched grass. Jack Peek's Sales Inc. keeps to lawn work through that stretch of the year, when the mowing slows down and the leaves start their long drift out of the oaks and sweet gums. Cuts get lowered, leaves get cleared off the turf before they mat and smother it, and the beds are put to bed properly rather than in a hurry. Autumn light out here comes in sideways and low, and it shows every ragged edge on a lawn — which is exactly why the edging still matters in November. A yard raked clean under a gray Georgia sky is one of the quieter pleasures of the season.
