Oconee County starts early. Hayfields roll off toward the Apalachee, mist burns off the pasture by eight, and Salem's yards go from soaked to workable in about an hour. Dash Lawn Care moves quickly down the morning list — mow, trim the corners, cut a line along the walk, blow the drive clear, gone. Grass here grows hard from April on, and it takes a steady week-to-week pass to keep a lawn honest. Short visits, even lines, nothing left behind.
