The last yard of the day in Perry is the one you remember — sun down behind the pines, porch lights coming on, the smell of cut grass hanging in air that has finally cooled. Saladin Lawn Service works toward that hour, one lawn after another: mowed even, edged along the walk and drive, trimmed at every post and corner, then swept clean. Houston County asks a great deal of a lawn between April and October, and it asks it again every single week. Meeting that rhythm is the whole of the trade, and doing it right is its own reward. Perry, Kathleen, Bonaire, Elko and Warner Robins all sit on the route.
