Richmond Hill wakes to water. Sterling Creek fills and empties behind the houses, and by the time the marsh has finished its first turn of the day, the mowers are already out on Bryan County lawns. AJ&H Lawn Care LLC keeps the cutting, edging and trimming on a rhythm this grass understands — quick in the wet heat of July, patient when centipede fades to straw in January. What they are after is simple and hard to fake: a lawn that holds its lines, corners squared, clippings blown off the walk before the truck pulls away. Ordinary work, carried all the way to the end, in a town that lives outdoors.
